Hi Gabe,
I posted a bunch of photos in my build - the links should still work for the most part. Here is the link to the build.
Or just go to the sandy build section here:

Hope this helps. good luck.

Hi Sammy. Welcome to the MEPD. To answer your question, yes - you still need to be approved for level one and then two. Which trooper are you aiming for?

Is there three levels of ranking? I know there is PO and SWAT, but is there just a regular Sandtrooper? and you're saying for a PO I can have mix the different pauldrons, blasters, pouches, field packs? but for SWAT you need to adhere to the specific combinations? Like the ones Pandatrooper posted in the Sandtrooper Armor forum? Thank you Thomas for helping me understand all my questions!
Hi Micah. Yes, there are three levels. The basic level (level 1) is a regular sandtrooper. You have a lot of freedom with how you put it together - check out the CRL on the 501st page. Sign up at the 501st - http://www.501st.com/members/join_form.php . Once it is built, send pics to your garrison GML. Your GML will contact 501st and approve your costume (or they will get back to you with required improvements/adjustments). After that, you can apply here at MEPD for PO (level 2) and then SWAT (level 3). Of course, the best way to do it is to document your build here at MEPD - you will get feedback and help with your build so you won't need to do any improvements at approval time.
For level one, a few things are optional (like a backpack) but keep in mind what you will eventually need if you are planning on going for SWAT (that is the level where emulating a specific trooper is applicable).
Hope that helps a bit.

Is the artwork available? Is it just a matter of putting these things together in Photoshop or Illustrator?

maybe even a patch that celebrates all the MEPD costumes not just the sandies?
I had to look at the detachment CRLs to see what the heck you were talking about.

Greetings all, my name is Ethan. I've been working on an AP ANH stunt for just over five years (life keeps interfering). Just recently made the decision to make it dirty.
Welcome to the MEPD. I did a sandy with an AP kit. I love it. Dirty is awesome! I highly recommend it.

I would love to check out the thread. AP said his helmets now come with the darker lenses, but someone in my local forum told me he sends "C" trim, and I would probably want to get "S" trim for it. I have no idea what that means. Is this some sort of trim for the armor panels? Breast plate?
Here you go...
the s-trim is more accurate. I got mine from trooperbay.com.
In my build, I sort of went crazy with the helmet... you’ll want to skip ahead a bit to the actual armour building.

I have two AP kits. One TK and one TD. Love them. Mark is very good to deal with as well. I have a build thread if you want to check the kit out in detail.

So, something I’ve been meaning to do for awhile. The plan is still to try for SWAT at some point. But first, I wanted to try and take pictures of the armour and compare to various screen shots to see where improvements were needed. I wanted to get the lighting and quality of the images to match the reference material. So, without going crazy in photoshop, I quickly did up the following pics. The armour is on a mannequin.
Garindan scene. I’m pasted in on the right over Garindan. This image was tough to compare as the original has been processed a lot.
Cantina scene. Helmet reference. I’m on the left.
Docking bay. I’m on the right.
I definitely see some differences even with the quick compare. Anyway, it was a fun experiment.

That's a bummer - but, you can fix that. Don't go buying new parts yet.
You will need to remove the screw (of course), glue a piece of scrap plastic to the backside (re-drill hole for screw), and then use ABS paste to fill in the gap on the front. The area with the ABS paste will need to be sanded and re-weathered. Some people will actually use a bit of thin cloth with glue or resin before gluing on the scrap piece of plastic to reinforce the cracked area - you only really need this if you have tears propagating out from the broken area.
If you have any questions on any of the above, let me know. There are tutorials out there for this sort of patch work.
Good luck.
