So we've had a fairly long drought in merchandise runs here of late. I check every day but it's been dead silent over in the Merch sub forums.

Looks fantastic!

I’m desperate for this hockey jersey and those elusive MEPD badges!!!

Ah ok! Nevermind then. You are well acquainted with wearing these things. I love the TD. I've got other costumes in the works but this will remain my favorite I'm sure!

Great job! Did you get used to the feel of the armor yet?

Nice pics Scott! But there's a no weapons troop... and you didn't bring your 3PO head??
I had him. Just can't see him in those pictures.

Wow it has been a while! The trooping opportunities really decline in the summer months it seems.
Aug 25, 2018 -- Birmingham Alabama Fairy Tale Ball benefiting Childcare Services.
Notes: No weapons troop. I don't like no weapons troops but it was for the kids so I sucked it up. My wife did a test run of her Iden Versio with command staff approval. Her actual armor is being painted, so she borrowed the chest piece from someone else. She looked so much like Iden it was scary. Little girls were coming up to her wanting to get a picture made with their female hero Iden. It was great!

Didn't one guy above want 3? Doesn't that push us up to the magic number 25?

Trying out a iX throat mic. It seems to drastically reduce the feedback, but it makes my voice sound muddy. I believe that's tolerable though since it kinda gives me the sandtrooper sound even before the TKTalkie changes it.
More tests to come.

I just bought the **** out of 10 of these. Thank you!

Let it also be known that the emblem you created for this thing is BAD ASSSSSSSSSSS. Needs to be a patch or a coin or both.
-
Let it be known that I prefer ORANGE, but I would buy either one.

I really do not want to come off as elitist but I’m sure it’ll be conveyed that way... BUT we aren’t other detachments. There’s no other detachment that takes accuracy and much more seriously as we do. We’re also a relatively small detachment compared to FISD and JRS.
I agree with you on the shield patches. We need to get these available and in the hands of new members. @Gordonator is wrapping up the 10” patches now. Maybe he can chime in. It is a lot of work getting things made, shipping, etc. on top of family, work, etc. I tried it for my garrison and couldn’t hack it.
It's ok! I'm TOTALLY elitist!

After my field pack frame cracked last month I contacted RS since I’d only had the pack for about 60 days.
They had me send it to Woodman, repaired it, and I just got it back in. Looks fantastic!
I cant recommend RS Propmasters enough! They have been fantastic start to finish and afterwards!

OMG that’s fantastic. Don’t make me want to try the impossible having just finished my other blaster. Lol

Thinking about flying down to Georgia to see my mom and sister in the fall. Maybe I'll borrow one of their cars and come see you and help you sort out these audio issues lol.
I’m aggravated enough to try a throat mic. Bought a used one. Waiting for it to arrive now.

Dixie Derby Girls Star Wars Night, Huntsville Alabama on 7/21/2018
I'm still struggling with the audio when it need it to be loud enough to hear in crowds. The McWane center was quiet enough that people could hear me. So I still have some work to do on this end. I'm going to work on this in earnest for the next several weeks when I have no troops on the radar screen.
Pics!
(my favorite is when they let us into the security room/surveillance center to oversee things)
My wife is also in these -- she's working on her Iden Versio and hopes to get approved within a few weeks.
Also: Field Pack is still undergoing repairs so is not pictured.

Still need a small patch for a boonie hat. I'm seriously needing one of these.

I have to agree with Badbatch. We are even doing new merch runs on the garrison level in Alabama. MEPD seems to be bringing up the rear right now. Let's get the merch runs going again.

I know who won it, and it wasn't you. I'll keep a watch out for you Scott... It will come, patience my friend.
Thanks brother! The only salve that healed my soul after losing that auction was an exceptional 4 hour troop Sunday where my audio was working and we got to wander all over a science museum interacting with people. That helped!
I'm still upset though. It's the fact that they are never for sale that hurts. I mean if I just moved on to another auction it wouldn't be bad -- but there are none to move on to!

I used Velcro to secure a foam strip on my chest piece to buffer the sound waves from travelling back down to the speaker. It seemed to work better that way. I also moved the mic a little bit away from my mouth in the helmet because it seemed like my voice was bouncing around in the helmet back into my mic (not sure if that also causes feedback or not).
Im going to explore the an plate solution now. I wish they would advance amp tech to be smaller/thinner. That would solve a bunch of problems.

On a lighter note -- I did one other finishing touch to the blaster:
And I trooped with it. It was fantastic.
