congratulations man you look great, hopefully I can get approved here soon and submit for PO as well.
-
I'm trying to build my armor to level 2, PO standards, and I know I need to have the strapping screws showing on my chest and abdomen. My question is what size and type are they?
-
Is this elastic suitable for PO and SWAT level?
Currently I have nylon for the chest to back connection but I know I need to change it to elastic. The CRL says for level two "shoulders straps shall be white elastic waistband material"
I just want to make sure this is correct so I dont have to change it again later on.

I'm not 100% but I would go with the dimples.
Thanks airborne, belt won't arrive till Monday now but I'm still planning on having the ammo belt ready to install.
-
OK another quick question I'm hoping you guys can answer.
For the "sergeant docking bay 96 V2" which belt is he wearing? I've looked at swat and movie clip pictures and I cant figure out if hes wearing the belt with the 3 square indents or if the one with the dimples. The AM kit comes with both and my canvas belt will be here tomorrow and I'd prefer to assemble them once so if I ever attempt SWAT I wont have to change it.

I ended up having to add 2 more spacers to get it off my knee cap. I taped the whole thing together and put it on to make sure.
I did get some high density foam from work just for that reason airborne. Not sure if I'll actually need any but it was free and it's better to have it on hand
-
One thing bro. Make it angled, not just prominent to the front. Meaning that the bottom of tmhe diamond, the little triangle should be touching the shin, and ghe top, projected to the front. That way, the top will be far from the bottom pf the thigh. Its not a very difficult mod, just need to remove and glue again, with some plastic added. Hope that makes sense. Saludos
Makes perfect sense. I'll make the modifications tomorrow

Hey bro... Just went though all your thread over the FISD and have to day, you did the right thing going sandy!!! Welcome bro... LOL. About the knee plate, just put some more spacers to make it more angled towards the front. As long as it doesnt look weird, you sre good to go. This is a common issue for mamy troopers, so, dont worry much about making it too proyected to the front. Just make it work for you. Saludos
OK I was hoping it was just going to be something simple but at this point it's better to ask those with more expertise.
Thanks it was a very easy decision to come play in the sand. We have a ton of tks in our garrison with more coming and I didn't want to just be another white bucket haha.

I posted this on white armor as well but i want to ask my fellow brothers on MEPD too.
While trying to fit my thigh armor and shin on my left leg I'm finding that the diamond plate is biting/rubbing my knee cap. I've already used 4 spacers to hold it off my shin and i'm unsure if I would be ok to add more or if I should pry it off and just place it lower down onto my shin. I've only used E6000 to build my armor.

I've ordered a white pauldron from trooper1 and I'm on the list for my pouches, my armor is coming along and I'm hoping for my approval by the end of the month

Jason,
Welcome to the sandbox.
Chris
thanks! I'm happy to be here and cant wait to start tooping

Welcome to MEPD! I see you are also on whitearmor.net. There is a wealth of information there and here so study build threads and learn about the various types of packs and accessories we use. Update your profile over here and setup an avatar so you're not a ghost!
Profile updated
and thank you, its about time I'm posting to you where I need too haha. I've been reading build threads on whitearmor for months now, even while I've been working on my own build which has helped tremendously when something comes up because I already know at least one solution. I've been reading for about a week over here and already decided on which TD to copy and LoveMonkey has already sent me links to the trooper1 ongoing sales thread for pauldrons as well as the vetted seller for the pouches over here. The pack builds do scare me a little just because of the accuracy required to reach SWAT but I have time to study and work on the pack after I get my basic approval -
Wow that's alot of elbow grease on cleaning up the armor and I have to applaud your work its looking great I cant wait to see it once your all done and get approved.
-
Hello everyone, I've recently been recruited by LoveMonkey to come play in the sand, hes persistent let me tell you haha and I've been working on an AM kit on the FISD boards with the intent of making a shiny white TK,
Here is the link to my build thread: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36798-jason10012s-am-20-build-thread/
But after some consideration, and after spotting at a few events with Kirk, and a few TK's, it wasn't a tough decision to want to come and get dirty and stand out from the sea of white. There were a few other considerations I made before I fully committed to the idea of getting dirty as well but I know I'm making the right choice and its something I will be very happy with as I continue my journey to join the 501st.
In my build I have been building towards centurion level and now that I'm switching I still plan on reaching the highest level I can, S.W.A.T although it might take a little while longer to achieve its still my goal. From the research I've been doing on the CRL and here on MEPD there seems to be little difference between Centurion and SWAT with regards to certain details like the ab and kidney rivets and male snap on the ab piece but I've seen reference to a rivet detail on the center ab button location and I'm not quite sure about the other button location and the 3 or 4 painted buttons so if someone could clarify that I would be very appreciative.
After spending some time looking over the different TD variations and knowing I will have to pick one to emulate in order to reach SWAT I have decided on doing "Sergeant docking bay 94 V2". I chose this one because again it is different from any other TD in our garrison and any potential future TD's to come.
I will do my best to keep my build updated here as well at least until I reach the critical point of weathering my armor and my pack build at which point I will move my thread completely over to MEPD

Hi Jason, welcome to the sandbox Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks LoveMonkey I'm looking forward to going out and trooping with you as a td rather than just a spotter.
-
Hmm some of these pictures look awfully familiar I wonder who took them haha, love the record of your troops I can't wait till I can do the same

Good morning everyone, happy may the fourth to you all
. My name is Jason and I'm currently building an am kit and I've reached the point where I have to make that decision by going tk or td. As you can tell by me posting here I'm clearly leaning towards td because I like the uniqueness of it compared to a tk and LoveMonkey keeps telling me at the troops that I need to come get dirty and play in the sand box haha so here I am.
I have a few other reasons to want to go td as well, just like most of you here, so I won't get into all of them but one of the main reasons is that after spotting for 18 events and seeing a group of tks vs only LoveMonkey, I love how much differently the crowds interact with a td and that you just don't blend into a sea of white.
I have been looking around the forums for a while now and as I was planning on going centurion as a tk it's only fitting to want to go swat here as well. As swat I really like this trooper with the white pauldron "Docking Bay 94 v2".

Thanks Kirk I'll see what I can find too
