Awesome, bro! What a beautiful suit and perfect work you did there! Cheers P.

Oh, I would like that as well...!

Hey Mr. Pouchman - besides your armour builds, I always admired your pouch collection! So many beautiful and rare pieces... Yeah, the Sci-Fire hip pouches are great! But I definately need to age them a bit as they are still looking like brand new! Cheers, my friend!

Nice one, buddy - I love it! Cheers Patrick

Feaking amazing...you are leaving me speech- and breathless...! Cheers Patrick

Hey, coming along nicely, my young apprentice! (just joking) Keep up the good work and keep as updated! Cheers Patrick

Thanks so much, bro - that really means a lot to me! But I would not have been able to do it without your expertise and help and this forum - MEPD rocks! I totally agree regarding the MP40 canvas pouch! With all this building and weathering, I forgot to buy it! But I will add that one soon... Cheers Patrick

Thanks so much, guys - I am glad that you like it! And Jens: I hope that we will be trooping together this year and finally meet eachother! Juan, you are absolutely right about those pouches! In fact, I weathered them a bit last night but as it was 3 a.m. already, the only thing I have had in mind was 'get it done and then get some sleep!'... So my work was a bit sloppy, I guess...! But I will work on them. Why I am planning to sell the suit? Well, I am infected with the 'B-virus' - the build-virus - and need to continue building and upgrading! So, maybe there will be another build thread in the near future...who knows...! Cheers Patrick

Alright, my sandy Bros - here we go again! I know it has been a long time - too long for my taste - but it has finally happened! May I introduce to you my finished TE2 armour! Here are a few quick shots my wife just took... I guess there is still a lot of improvement to be made to the weathering - or at least possible - but as I might sell the suit shortly anyway, I will let that to a potential new owner.... Thanks for bearing with me and all your helpful comments! Cheers all! P.

My goodness - what a beautiful suit! I guess, I need one...anyone need a fully assembled TE2...? *lol* And your build is awesome - very skilled, very nice - good job bro! Cheers Patrick

Same here - I am very much looking forward to see someone step up for these positions! It will be much work - it will be stressful - it might sometimes be a pain - but I think from what the actual or 'old' staff has achieved is a great base to continue onwards! I am very confident that those being elected to the new staff will support the leading officers with all their might! And furthermore, if Rolf would stay as an officer (begging and praying almost every night that he will... ), it would be the best help you could get! So...anybody...? Cheers Patrick

Holy smokes - you are a suit building monster! I cannot wait to see those pictures of you - GET THEM ON - AT ONCE! Cheers P.

Dang, bro - I almost thought that you ahve turned into a youngling again! He looks so much like you - TD-252/1...! And as always, you are doing a great job on the armour - cannot wait to see pics with you on it, wearing it! Cheers P.

Wow - nice one! Ver detailed and good looking T-21! Cheers Patrick

Awesome MG-15 - very nice work! Cheers Patrick

Same goes for your weapons, bro...!

You truly are a talented artist! So many wonderful pictures...! I salute you, Master! Cheers P.

That is an awesome site, Sir! Very nicely done! The only thing I am missing is a bit more info about purchasing your goods... Cheers Patrick

Beautiful, my friend! I envy you! But why are you wasting time taking pictures and writing posts!?? Move along, trooper and get that thing on its feet!!! Cheers bro! Patrick

I think this is a very nice idea and could 'wake up the dead'! Cheers Patrick

A Cody kit? Hear, hear...very nice...! Well, my Cody helmet is finally finished and I am presently working on the armour. Comparing to the TE2 trooper armour I have assembled, the clone one is far more challenging - but lots of fun! Then I STILL need to weather my Sandtrooper suit and finish the backpack. Hope to get that done in between glueing the clone parts... This is the weathered Cody helmet by the way... Cheers Patrick

Anytime, brother!

Thanks, Bros - all the best to you as well! And let's get the MEPD rocking again! Cheers Patrick

Thanks for the kind words and support, bro - I appreciate it! Well, I have offered my help and you can mark my word on that; I will happily take whatever position the active staff will see fit for me and do my best to fulfil the duties that come with it. Cheers Patrick

Hi folks, sorry for not responding sooner! This is an important and sensitive subject and I can only back Dutchy up in offering my help and support! I would not see myself in a position as to run for either CO or XO but I do hope that some of the 'veterans' will step up to fill these positions and take the newly elected staff on to a prospering MEPD - and I will gladly support that with all my heart if needed and wished for. I have found so many useful and valuable information here, as well as nice people to chat and exchange opinions with, and I think it is more than worth it to keep this up! This is a great forum, the MEPD is a great department and we, who love Sandtroopers, should put all our efforts together to keep it that way and even improve it! Although, I am not saying that the actual staff has not done a good job - they absolutely have and we should keep up this good work! I would very much like to see Rolf remain in his position as SAA, as it would be important to back a newly elected team up with some of the ol' pros! I would rather see him as XO or even CO but we have discussed that before...! So, I am not only offering my help and dedication but also like to encourage others to step forward and do somethng for the MEPD - the MEPD was there for you when you needed it, now it is time to be there for the MEPD - THE MEPD NEEDS YOU!
