    TD 92963 Requesting Deployment

    in MEPD Police Officer Program

    Good looking sandtrooper, Wayne! Welcome to the MEPD. Like Chris said, you're on the right track, but you will need a backpack and another pouch or two. I'm not command staff either, but a few other things do jump out on your armor that will need adjusting..

    - Your kidney plate is upside down. The notches in the corners should be aligned with the butt-plate.
    - Also, your MP-40 pouch needs to be at your left shoulder in the front, not the back.
    - You will also need to attach the 3-button piece to the ab-plate.

    Great job on the weathering! Just a few tweaks and you should be ok. Good luck, trooper! :thumbsup:

    This was a little confusing to me as well. Since the MP40 pouch at the left shoulder is typically attached to the shoulder strap of the backpack, but the pack is an optional accessory for basic approval... ??? :confused: For my submission pics, I just rigged a piece of webbing that connects the pouch to the elastic on my left shoulder bell.

    RT-MOD Questions.

    Thanks guys,

    I assume it's just first time jitters. I'm sure once I've done one build, future ones will be less intimidating. Dropping so much coin for something always makes me nervous. I've been doing so much reading over the past weeks my mind is getting scrambled. ..lol. I was originally going for HWT and then changed my mind to TD. Now I'm trying to remember if what I read was for HWT or TD...lol. So many little differences and varients, I just want to make sure I get it right.

    I know what you mean, we've all been there.. It can be intimidating and first, and it's A LOT of info to take in. But just keep reading and researching and you'll get the hang of it. And yes, your first build is always the most nerve wracking. :thumbsup:

    HWT are posers who want to wear pauldrons and a pack but not get their boots dirty :woot:

    LOL!! HAHAHAA!!! :lol:

    Hi Paul,
    RT-Mod makes a great set of armor. A trooper in my garrison recently joined with one of his kits. When he says he 'does sandy gear', does he mean a commissioned build, or just supplying the parts required for a sandy (diamond knee plate and 3-button ab piece)? Most TK armor makers offer this an option. The weathering, especially for SWAT requirements, is gonna be up to you.. :thumbsup:

    Just submitted my application. Here are my pics

    Looks good! Nice work! Looks like an ATA kit if I'm not mistaken..?
    You can use an image hosting site like Photobucket or Flickr rather than trying to upload large pics directly to MEPD. Upload your images to the hosting site, then copy/paste the direct URL link of each photo here using the 'Image' icon in the task bar above the reply window. :thumbsup:

    Still don't know what to do.

    I know it can be daunting, but hang in there! Which armor makers have you contacted so far? I went with ATA Works because I was on a budget as well. There are a few other armor makers that are in the same price ball-park as ATA, and some that are more than double the cost. A good thing to keep in mind is that you don't need to purchase ALL the suppies, accessories, and tools you need all at once. I definitely pieced mine together as I went, and could afford to do so. Some makers, like ATA, offer the helmet kit separate from the armor kit, so you can tackle the helmet first while you're on the wait-list for the armor. Take your time, in both your research and the actual build. Have you signed up at FISD (whitearmor.net)? MEPD is great, but there are a lot more build threads to follow and a lot more info on the base stormtrooper armor at FISD. Good luck, and don't lose hope! :thumbsup:
