  1. OooOoOOo a trading card reboot?!
  2. Trooping incentives would be fun! I know some folks who dedicate a whole lot of time to the troop logs for the purpose of some incentive patches/coins.
  3. Question for the OP - what would you like to see more of on the forum? While I don't post often here, I check in every few days or so to see if there are content I can contribute to / be interested in. Fact of the matter is, there's already so much awesome info on this forum I think of it more as a reference than anything else, and I think that's how a lot of troopers approach it. I'm in all the detachment forums, and not all are super active. Off the top of my head, I think the active ones are all somewhat tied to costumes that appeared in the new media coming out. The rest who don't have as much new characters are fairly quiet with an engaged core staff (usually) that monitors and shows up to answer questions. So, back to the original question - what would you like to see more of on the forum? Might help give the command here better feedback.
  4. I am guessing some older members can provide context, but looking at this 501st History page I found, looks like all the detachments were formed around the same time? https://databank.501st.com/databank/Legion:History Looking at our own website - "The MEPD began in late 2000 as a small group of Sandtrooper costume owners hoping to become the official Sandtrooper Detachment of the 501st Legion. That wish was fulfilled in early 2001." https://www.mepd.net/ I am guessing it's possible members gathered in the Yahoo! Groups? Under another name?
  5. Love it!! Thanks for stepping up, friend!
  6. Also - next on the docket, Bapty e-11 and DLT!
  7. Ah - so close! Sorry for the back-and-forth. More photos! Right Knee Ammo Belt (Drilled out rivet, replaced with split rivet. Painted white, weathered slightly) Weapon (Not sure if this is the charging handle ... think it is? Decided to include new shots of the DLT-19 in case it's not)
  8. As it turns out, I had some time tonight to make the fixes! I am including all the new updated photos in this post here. Also, placed an order for a new bottle for the backpack - will replace that when it comes in :). Still need to make sure the weathering is uniform, so going to continue to work on that. Helmet Tube Stripes (Close-up): Shoulder Elastic Straps (Made to be dirtier, yellowed strap with tea): Cod Rivet (Replaced snap with rivet, filled in gap with ABS paste. Going to keep sanding): Right Knee Ammo Belt (Cut to 90 degree angle): Backpack (Turn around box, clean up the cable): Weapon (Include photos of weapon, add wires to t-track):
  9. Hausi - thanks so much for the quick review! Looks like we posted updates at the same time. I will fix the ammo belt / cod piece this weekend. Thank you for the pointer re: the bottle, I will order and replace. The cabling was for a sound system I am playing with. Here are some new photos of the straps - I noticed the white this morning as well. I dirtied it up a bit just now and will spray with some tea this weekend so the strap looks more yellow/dirty. As for the weapon - the Jawas must've stolen them when I was taking these photos! Here's the DLT-19 (Hyperfirm) I usually troop with. Looking at the previous PO postings, I think I need to add wires to the t-tracks. Is there something else I need to do to bring it up to spec? Lastly - I do have another pair of boots I use that has thinner soles - can replace if we have issues with this pair!
  10. Thank you, Markus! I have updated the pictures in the original post with close-up of the tube stripes and new backpack pictures per your recommendation. Cable was for sound system I'm playing around with. Didn't take new pictures of me wearing the updated pack - my wife might kick me out of the house if I ask her to take more pictures so soon! I do have strapping on the side from the backplate to the chest (had that before I moved over to the current bracket + strapping system) - should I remove? Here's another picture of the shoes from the side - what do you think?

  12. Hey bud - a previous run just wrapped up a few weeks ago, am thinking you'll have to wait for a bit longer unfortunately. There is a hockey jersey run that's about to happen, might want to consider getting in on that / watch out for that http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/topic/15915-mepd-hockey-jersey-interest-thread
  13. TD-77520, Hoda, Star Garrison - Tour of Duty Report # 01. 2018-08-03: Back to School Fair ---------- # 01. 2018-08-03: Back to School Fair First outing in the TD! Participated in a back to school fair at a local children's advocacy center. We hung out with families who are at the fair to receive new backpacks, shoes, haircuts, and school supplies! Here I am with CB-13911 - we found a Star Wars book!
  14. Might be worth asking this over at the SpecOps forum? I'm sure you'd be able to find people there who'd know. http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php
  15. Woohoo! Works for me too! It just showed up in Tapatalk all of a sudden.
  16. Hi there! Newly approved TD-77520 here, looking for access to the Sandtrooper section. Thank you! https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=27157
