Thanks for the replies guys. At the end of the day I want to do 'C': all-of-the-above. I want to get a 501st ID, I want to get MEPD deployed and, like cjfive said, I'd like to make a difference. I've done alot of other reenactment in the past, and it's nice to be starting something that has a community based outlook. So I guess I'll be making a Classic or Marmit. I suppose I could make a SE but, hey, who needs the grief huh? especially when it comes to getting this n00b deployed Now, back to trying to hot-glue these parts together...

Fair enough Mike. That would be a "No" from a MEPD officer then Right'o: Marmit it is. Any help with the 2nd part of my post guys? Any vac-bitz going at the moment?

Hi guys, I'm just starting out in this great hobby, and am still in the research phase of my TD kit before I start punishing my VISA I've surfed alot of sites and had a fairly good look through the MEPD forum and, while I've noticed that folk are making fantastic variants of the Marmit and "Classic" packs, no-one seems to have made this particular variant. It appears in the extended "Look Sir, droids" scene in the special edition. It appears to be a "modern" version of the Marmit but with alot more hose and what appears to be weathered metal cases. The mortar tube also has a rounded end and appears to resemble a disposable AT launcher. I'm considering trying my hand at it but I'm concerned that it may not be considered canon by the MEPD (as I'd like to join at some stage I don't want to start off badly... ) Any thoughts? I'd also like to be put in contact with anyone who may be able to sell me the vac-form pieces I'll need in construction (radio plate / cups etc) Thanks for any help guys, can't wait to get trooping! Lon.
