Congrats :-)

Thanks, hope to see you out in the dunes soon too..

woot woot, Thanks everyone for the help and the guidance on this process. Felice, hope you had a great vacation. Just 2 comments on pack, easy changes, thats wonderful. All that research paid off... Thanks again, now to prep for Swat

Happy Birthday, make it a good one

Wayne, Armor looks great, your on the right track. Congrats on meeting the 501st approval. I'm not command staff but have you looked at the CRL for MEPD officer deployment ? I would review all the requirements listed at this link. http://www.mepd.net/crl/ as officer deployment requires a few thing & a Backpack is one of them. Im actually doing my officer deployment now :-) Welcome to the sandbox, Chris

i was doing the same as the above, now that i have a pack made, its now on a strap for the pack with snaps..

No problem man, enjoy the conversion..

Thats cool i was thinking about doing the same..

Welcome to the dirty side :-)

I used a combination of things, Pauldrons, were done with the same dark acrylic mix as armor and a top coat of tile grout, some have used a little hair spray to seal them. Pouches, were done the same as the pauldrons but hit them with a 250grit sand paper before the grout to give the well used look.. Hope the above helps.

Absolutely T21 /w a pack is the winner for sure.. Pack has some wounds from bumping into thing, fixed them today..

Thanks bro, lots of research went into this build lol. Did my first troop with it today. A massive success it was. :-)

Yeah i should be, just waiting on review.

Welcome to the dirty side, Sounds like your going Tuck and roll, that my path as well. For pouches i would highly recommend Blaster 8266 (Anthony) he makes the best pouches around. For the TD ab buttons Walter at WTF trooper factory has them available or he can pull a set for you no problem.. Its better on the dirty side

Here is my Basic PO Dirtyboy pack A few custom changes..

John, Im im not mistaken the movie ones were black and painted or dyed white as well..

I ended up having a friend mix some for me. worked well but can didn't last long. So i decided to use a base light grey primer and Krylon Bahama Sea, it actually worked very well.

Have you tried TKboots ? or Imperialboots ? Another option is buy a set of chelsea boots and dye them white, normally they come in black...

Thanks man.. Now for officer review lol
