    SOLO - Mimban Trooper CRL Development

    Is the undersuit going to be ribbed? Or will that be a level 2 and 3 option just like the rogue 1
    Troopers?

    Is the pack going to be required? I think I have seen just as many, if not more, of these guys in the movie without packs vs with packs.

    Has a decision been made as to whether the palatka is actually black, or is it green with super heavy weathering (I’m assuming it’s black, but need to know before dying my palatka).

    Also, can we get a posting of what is the most recent proposal for the CRL? I am ready to start producing armor, and making my own costume, but am at a stand still until I have more solid information regarding the CRL.

    11B30B4’s RO Crystal Patrol Pack Build

    in Crystal Patrol Field Pack

    Glad you posted this over here! You are looking great. A lot of hard work went into this and it shows. 

    Agreed not to beat the dead horse, totally understand why you wouldn't want to dirty up your kit. That is 100% up to you. The rule isn't necessarily only "dirty" stormtroopers come to MEPD, its slightly more complicated but I guess thats an easier generalization. The history of the MEPD is its own thing we won't get into, but where the MEPD is now is a much different place than it was just a few years ago. 

    We are super grateful for the heavy lifting over at FISD for this pack, many of us participated (there or on Facebook). I have held the stance that this pack, while belonging to the MEPD in the form of the Crystal Patrol Trooper, should also be an optional accessory for the R1 troops as a compromise. Now that is not for me to decide and it is only my own personal opinion. 

    The other thing about this pack and the MEPD is we still need a CRL model. We already have one for the Jedha trooper and the new Mimban trooper from Solo, but this one is still eluding us. Should you eventually want to help create this CRL with us we welcome you and have  a locker in the MEPD break room with your name on it! 

    FISD and MEPD have worked in tandem for many years, we have a great relationship with the command staff. The new direction for the MEPD was decided by both detachments not too long ago. We are still adjusting to the new expansion of this detachment. While it is our origin, we are no longer just the Sandtrooper detachment. 

    Thank you again for posting this and your progress, it will be incredibly helpful for those pursuing this pack. You did an excellent job! 

    Merch Runs- MEPD still waiting?

    The good news is that we would love to the make the standard merch (mostly the shield patch) available more often. Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to buy a bunch and make them year round but we are working to get them up here a few times a year. Stay tuned. 

    Best place to find new merchandise postings is going to be on the merch section of the forum, and sometimes on the Legion boards. We don't post them on any other platforms (which is the legion rule that many detachments don't follow). So just check back at least 2 times a month and you shouldn't miss anything. 

    trooperbay v trooper1

    I have three pauldrons from trooperbay and they are super quality! But when I do a side by side comparison with the screen caps, they seem to be a bit larger.  It could also be that I am small in my armor.

    I'm suppressed no one has any photos comparing the two. 

    I plan to order one from trooper1, especially after reading so many positive reviews here.

    I have both! I will try to get a comparison photo up here. Size is pretty comparable. The Trooberbay ones aren't quite as "puffy" as the trooper1 versions. 

    Both are great quality, I just prefer the trooper1 version.

    Craft Foam Pouches

    @Fraulein Hard to say really. The wording is pretty vague, leather or "leather-like" is acceptable. It doesn't specify it its "leather like" in looks alone or feel and weight too. 

    I have seen some really convincing foam that looks just like leather (and metal and other material). In my opinion, if it look just like leather and is convincing enough to not tell the difference in person and in photographs, it should pass. Thats just my personal opinion though, the wording of the CRL is up to the interpretation of the GMLs. 

    I think they could work well as an alternate material for hip pouches, not sure it it would be convincing enough for a shoulder pouch but I'm sure someone out there is skilled enough to prove me wrong. 

    Woodman-Sonix Radios CLOSED PLEASE DELETE.

    I can't say it enough, this radio is probably the closest we will get to a real one, except this is crisp and brand new. The price, even if I wouldn't consider it cheap, but no quality is. And this is worth it, and a very good deal considering the craftmanship put into it.

    I love mine. A beautiful piece of prop replication art.

    In my opinion, the only Radio that could top this would be a real Sonix. And even then, I don't know if I would use a real to build a trooping wearable pack.

    Don't miss this opportunity.

    Field Marshal has been doing mostly Han Solo's blaster lately. At least that's what comes up on my FB feed.

     

    He does E-11s too, his all aluminum E-11 kit is almost ready to go. He just does his stuff in phases. Sometimes is scopes only, sometimes just dl44 sometimes e-11. But he's joined up on the bapty FB page now and has expressed interest in the bapty variant.

    Field marshal has expressed interest in making the aluminum parts for a bapty. Hopefully in the next year he can make it, that would be awesome, his work is top notch. 

    The M38s seem to pop up a few at a time. I also recommend looking for the 1942 M40 or 1942 M47, they are identical to the 1942 M38 and are usually cheaper since most are looking for the M38

    A CRL for this is under development (along with the nearly identical Battlefront 2 Imperial Heavy Trooper) 

    You can find the topics related to this here: 

    http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/forum/74-special-edition-armor/

    Really we are just waiting for someone with ROTJ armor who wants to make this trooper. 

    In the past the MEPD hasn't embraced these troopers, but times change and we would love to include them in our line up, we just need someone who wants to pull the trigger!
