Totally agree guys. Our challenge is having the time and manpower to catalog and update the threads. Plus we don't want to make it too easy....some of the best discoveries have come from troopers sifting through their own research....back in the old days we had 5 reference photos lol

****!!! That sucks man. I'm always paranoid about stuff like that. Building definitely has its hazards.

Just a matter of time my friend. You will get there

Good Day Brothers And Sisters Of The MEPD....
This goes out as a quick reminder that the SWAT program is the top accreditation for the Sandtrooper costume. We have spent years working out the program to not only reflect
what you see on screen but to also make it attainable for troopers. What the SWAT requirements are, reflect the minimums to achieve the programs badge of honor. If you set out
to replicate every detail of what was done on screen 40 years ago, wed love to see it. The program has no limits.....as long as you achieve the already super strict minimum requirements
you will achieve SWAT status.
I look at it like this.....Navy Seals or comparable Special Ops units go through an insane amount of training to become the best they can be....Working hard with what they've learned and never giving up.
However, there will always be a slight difference from one to another.....some will be stronger, faster, be able to hold their breath longer etc etc....But in the end, they are all incredible and respected as the best.
We are the best.
Love to you all....

Hey Bert, I'm not seeing anything at a quick glance that would keep you from approval. Get the pack and some other fine tuning done so you can hang with us at the cantina.

Getting close brother....couple of easy fixes and you'll be set to go

Looks great brother....good luck

Thanks Juan for posting....as always we are on the same page. The Tunasia 76 is a stand alone unit in the lines of what any other non 501st club would be. They will have their own guidelines and are not to be confused with what we are doing here. Troop on brothers and sisters.

thanks guys.....Really appreciate the thoughtfulness. Its been a great few days with the family
-
Well, they aren't part of Mos Eisley so they will never be part of us lol.

Ok, I've been waiting on the list of troops who donated. I know everyone's been super busy. It'll be updated. Thanks bro

Put something together and email it to me. Just might be part of next months issue

Awesome start brother. Digging the cases.

Awesome!!! So glad to hear. Kids love the sandtrooper. We just look so much more bad a$$ than a shiny lol

That's cool man. Getting those build skills!! Glad to see your having fun....that's the most important thing we do here

You should be good to go now brother. Nice work

Nice job on the build bro

Nice job with your build brother!!

Hey brother, welcome to the MEPD!! Glad you found us....
Although not a perfect kit you'll still have a fun screen inspired sandtrooper. Depending on what your goals are, you may need to do some adjustments. Armor like this is a fun when you are just starting out and you should embrace it.
Keep us posted on your plans and we will help where we can.

Great job Justus and the News Team!!! Thank you for getting this back off the ground.

You can also make them out of polypropylene and buckles. Joanns fabrics carries the supplied. You can also go to 5Below and chop up a backpack

Heres a small update. Cleaned up the design quite a bit. Getting it prepped so I can make the 3D model and then print it. Ill post pics of the prototype once its all printed!
Looks great. I'm thinking the badge case is also a great idea. What color will the print be?

Yes, keep here.
