I donated it to the props display. The Armor needs some fine tuning. Going back to the TK for the rest of the day.
How was the troop?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt was great! A big Convention with a massive crowd throughout the day, Convention is 3 days but only had the chance to go today...best part was when I hit the floor with my son, we were quite the crowd stoppers just the 2 of us and when we picked up 3 more Troopers the reactions when the visitors saw us comming was priceless, I mean they are used to organized Marches, 3 each day but now we were just cruising the floor
Started a Tour of Duty with some pics and expect to see yours as well

Heroes Comic Con in Stockholm Sep-15th
[charity raised: 2839USD to the childrens cancer fund]
First arrest was a BIG one
Was patroling the Capital when we spotted the Wookie Chewbacca…..we immediately took action and secured the area, he promised not to use his weapon so we let him keep it.
That`s my son to the right, he insists on staying on the Death star most of the times….
Rest of the Patrol was mostly to stay on post keeping the Citizens on a thight leash...eeeh..I mean happy and safe celebrating the Empire.
Got som more pics from the CO - can`t have enough pics right

Have my first troop with my TD this weekend. I tried on my backpack tonight. I’m not to sure about trooping with it since there will be some thick crowds. Of course that means attaching the shoulder pouch to... what? I’ve decided to use a small elastic strap to wrap around my arm and magnets to hold it in place.
Drilled 3/4 hole in wood “ammo clip”. Inserted a couple of magnets.
Duct tape another magnet to inside of chest.
It holds its position without any other support - sort of. Still need the strap around the arm. Two sets of magnets might hold it in place without any other support. Might.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIf haven`t left for the Troop already - take the field pack!! Went through some heavy crowds with mine to today and it held up fine

Well...the Sandtrooper already has alot of accessories with the pauldron, field pack, extended arsenal etc but I figured having some more wouldn`t hurt
And...I´m pretty sure this is a droid we are looking for!!
I need a net bag to finish this of so I can carry it in my hand or strapped to the pack on those non-formal troops or when I´m attending as Joe-public
As a nice change of pace I won`t say anything, just show how I did - feel free to ask if some thing is unclear though

Congratulations

I supplied a separate stunt kit for stunts, as well as damaged armor pieces etc
I also designed and fabricated the Rebel soldier and prisoner costumes and some props.
Kinda had a felling you might - also been watching your channel and in the words of our master Lord Vader - Impressive most Impressive
(a double salute was called for)

Artwork is in, can`t decide so both will make it into a poster
Thanks to MEPD and @Sandman Tiguifor providing this service of making a deployed artwork - loving it!

I can't wait to finally submit for my initial approval as a TD. Just finishing my new armor, now.
Awesome! Have no idea how you find the time to build for yourself though
Looking forward to welcome you to the rank of Sandtroopers -
Hey Ron - welcome to MEPD

I think I have found a karrimor frame. If I do get it, I will send it to you at no cost.
I know you are not demanding it, but it is the right thing to do.
Well I`d be stupid to say no so thank you very much
(That deserves a double salut)

Easy peasy
welcome to the core Troopers in the Empire

will see what I can come up with for the frame. It is custom aluminum and the only way to connect the pieces is with the elbows. I have used CPVC in the past, the only issue is it tends to break over time.
I did not mean that I demanded anything, I just wanted to let you know the SWAT requirements for your SWAT level field packs
If you find a karimor please let me know and we can work something out, there´s no hurry as I will turn my attention to the FOTK build for the time beeing. Thanks for awesome customer service -

If you will use it for SWAT? No.
I´m not happy with the frame. Absolutely not with this corner pieces:
I miss this endcapes (pic), and: it is no karrimor.
Before you invest a lot of time and money, look for better parts. Karrimor are not expensive and you get them easily. Above all: they are original. I hope you understand me. I just want you to not do any unnecessary work.
ahh I see, the only thing I did to the frame was to shorten it so the ends are how the pack came to me. Totally understand so thanks for clearing that up

The kids all asked why I was dirty, that’s what you get beeing the only TD
and the T-21 made some eyes pop that’s for sure...don’t remember how many times I bumped it in the side of my helmet when carrying it on the shoulder though 
Only hick-up was the belt popping loose on one side but I guess I’m the only one grunting when seeing it as no visitor would ever notice that 
Got some more pics from the EC so an update is to be made after I blurred a few faces
