I already set my old armor on fire and have shelled out good money for new armor that will be the basis of my new SE Armor.. I will start on the new back pack tonight what do you guys think?

omg THAT THING IS SWEET!

I am a big fan of the logo on the back too. I like that look in general unless it happens to be some sort or Iron Maiden tour t-shirt.. Hmmmm I wonder what that would look like???

What type of lenses did you use?

How about t-shirts we will never see like one for the wives/ gf's Maybe Or Sandtrooper With Benifits Or ........ hmmmm nevermind

Digging it daddy-o!! You work your magic

Dude love the backs on those shirts. But I am not a big fan of the Got ___ ? thing I would rather just have a blank front or something that said 501st but thats MHO the backs are kick *** tho

Cool boots, are the standard Imperial issued? Welcome to the sandpit, you are amongst the dirtiest troopers in the 501st

Yea saw this a few days ago. I think number 3 is naked with a bikini bottom and paint. Dont think many of us could pull that one off

Nice thanks for doing that bro. My head is perfectly proportioned for my body if I was 8 ft tall. SO the MRCE seemed like the smallest I could get but after looking at those beauties seems like I might be able to squeeze into one.. hmmmm

These are a few of my favs, while not as colorful as Frak I think these have their own merits... Stuck-up half-witted scruffy looking nerf herder Laugh it up, fuzzball. I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that Hurry up, goldenrod! Rebel Scum/ We don't need there scum

You guys look awsome! The TKs and TDs looks super sweet tho.. maybe you guys should tell Captin Rex to go play on the other side of the street if you know what I mean.

Yes I believe there was only one T-21 in ANH that is being carried by the Sandy with the orange pauldron. Looking at the movie it is clear that they used 2 orange pauldrons which can be seen on screen together a few times. Interesting enough the orange pauldron Sandys are the only guys seen carrying all three BFGs and the E-11 at different parts of the movie. But if you are wondering if only an orange trooper should carry the T-21 then you would have to make sure you do not wear your back pack if you wanted to be screen actuate. And do a tuck and roll

Looking good bro, just a few tweeks and your golden Welcome to the dirtiest , most bad a$$ troopers in all the 501st

So, so true... Last year while taking a break during a troop, a few TKs and I decided to take off our buckets and cool off. Well all the TKs gently put there helmets down making sure that they did not get a scratch. Well I took off my helmet and placed it upside down on one of those big outdoor ash treys that they have in front of stores. They all looked at me in horror, I simply picked up my helmet showed them where the gravel was still sticking to it and simply said.... "WEATHERING"

Yea not our finest moment I guess.. If you look you can see I forgot my left glove in my truck and the girl to my left knocked one of my pouches off and is bending over to pick it up..... That is why I am looking down Well maybe this year we can get it right -blank look- uhhh move along move along

Que Chingon!! That is bad a$$, great pictures!

Great picture, yea I missed the 501st picture cuz I think I was doing the Official Star Wars Breakfast. I hope there is no over lap this year, since the SW Breakfast is a must do for me and the best way to start off Saturday's Con.... Well not as good as pistol whipping the Twilight Fans but one can't have everything now can we? Nol SD Comic-Con is a beast everyone should do at least once.. Honestly it should be a right of passage for anyone in the 501st. There is nothing like walking in full gear on the main floor with 100,000 nutty sci-fi fans most of which want to take a picture with you. Last year my wife kept count since she wrangles for me most of the time and I stopped and took pictures with close to 200 people. And I was not in armor for that long either.

It may seem a little early but I just wondering who was planning on going this years San Diego Comic-Con? Last year we ended up taking this picture when a few of us got together. Would be cool to get a few more people for a larger group picture. Maybe we could wrangle up an MEPD banner.

Why do I like Sandtroopers? Cuz they are wicked cool...! They look like they just walked out of a battle and most dig the dirt! My Favs are 1 SANDTROOPERS (One has a lethal weapon in its hands the other is a Sandtrooper) 2 TIE Pilots 3 TKs 4 CC Bacara and believe it or not if I had to go Sith Loard I would pick Starkiller from The Force Unleashed. Who has to be one of the coolest SW charaters to never be in any of the 6 movies.

My favorite sandy picture? then there is this one

Friken sweet bucket bro!! I agree Scootch makes some top notch buckets and pacs... big thumbs up!

We should do a thread with all the loops, audio and video effects that people have used over the years. Myself I am going to rebuild an effect pac to use at Cons. again. This is is an a video of one of my old packs. http://www.youtube.com/user/xavierdare#p/u/12/uL1U-ndbIGw I slapped together the video and audio a while back and other troopers have used it as the basis of a radar special effect.

This is the footage that aired last night. To keep George happy I have edited out the cool parts .....(blinks) * Note how before 3:59 we are standing still and after everyone is visibly more animated. This is because we were told not to stand around like statues. and a big thank you email that the Southern California Garison receaved today from PBS

I love that figure! Thanks for the pictures. And yes Sideshows figure seems to have a striking resemblance to Art Andrews AKA braksbuddy's armor http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=4926
