Obviously, there are pictures of TDs in ANH that had their armour secured and attached with gaffer's tape. I'm sure I'll get a few funny looks for asking something like this, but would proper amounts of white gaffer's tape on TD armour keep it from being accepted into the 501st or becoming a deployed Sandtrooper? It wouldn't necessarily be for the same reason as was used in the films, but more of an aesthetic addition to my costume. Frankly, I love the way it looks. It really adds to the filthy, rag-tag, kick *** persona of a Sandtrooper.
Anyway, I just wanted your opinions, guys. Thanks!
