Do you need to be at least police officer status to order cards? Or can a regular sandy get them made?

[EPISODE VII SANDTROOPER]

Nice!

[Redforce TD build (WIP)]

Can you post a link as to where you got your leather MP40 Pouches?

This is where I got my pouches. I got them back in early 2013.

TD-10666 has been approved!

Waiting on my pack to get finished by Quartermaster and then will apply for MEPD deployment (:

Would love to go SWAT after my deployment. Depending on what trooper I choose.. It will take a good amount of altering of my weathering etc.... so it might not happen soon...but it will be on my radar

Helmet is dirty

[Redforce TD build (WIP)]

I would like to go for SWAT as a sergeant alley check V2 eventually

I need references for the weathering. What I'm doing appears to be similar to the desert sergeant I believe. I know I will have to make adjustments/changes on stuff once I apply for SWAT....but can someone provide or point me in the right direction for visual references for a sergeant alley check V2

thanks

ok. clear lacquer sounds like the way to go....so that's what I'll do. Thank you guys!

[Redforce TD build (WIP)]

Doing very nicely so far mate, keep it up.

I don't know what your plans are in regards to sealing the paint on there, if you use a cheap lacquer it leaves a nice ruff feel on the plastic which adds to the texture. Just food for thought.

I wasn't sure yet. I used hair spray (aqua net) on my incinerator armor and seems to have sealed it pretty good...

More parts with weathering completed....

Can you post a link as to where you got your leather MP40 Pouches?

I got them off an on-line military surplus store last year. I looked them up a few months ago and they weren't available there anymore....when I get on my pc later...I will find the link and post anyway

[Redforce TD build (WIP)]

Looking great!

I'm still working on mine. Hopefully I can get it done in the next few weeks.

Thanks Paul!

Hey Paul! I am going to trim in the notch.... I did the thighs over a month ago...between then and now...I learned about the notch up at the top. I knew I've seen it before...but didn't realize until recently that it is an essential for all sandys...

Yes. Lou did a great job on the lid!

I'll Definitely hit you up if I need to. Thanks!

I'll be at the Lincoln Park library at the end of the month!

Hello all... I've began my TD build at the end of March. I'm just getting over half way through the armor build so I've decided to create a thread to document my progress. I am shooting for a Sergeant build

I can probably use some advice at some point on TD details as I might have to change a few things. I am researching them as I go...so by all means please jump in and yell at me with some knowledge at any point (:

Armor - NE (I'm currently in the middle of building)

helmet - NE (already built by Darthvoorhees)

3 button ab plate - TM

Small Spanish pouches- Anthony/Blaster 8266

MP 40 pouches - military surplus

Pauldron - trooperbay

Handguards - Karin

Belt - trooperbay

boots - TK boots

Backpack - Quartermaster

E-11 - hyper-firm

Here are some progress photos

some shins

My thighs were built already. They are from my TK. When I built my TK last year...I didn't trim the length of them. I also didn't taper them down by the knees at all. They looked ok for a bit but, ultimately I built a new pair trimming them to the proper size..For my TD....I'm reconstructing my old TK thighs and trimming them to the proper length and bringing them in towards the bottom near my knees a bit. Thighs are also of the NE make...

here they are before reconstruction

reconstruction photos

Forearms and biceps

belt trimming/prepping

Chest - ab - kidney - back trimming

3 button ab plate for left hand side of ab from troopermaster
