Hey Darren,
This is what I call dedication, so cool to see someone who is really into this and motivated to become deployed, great work! So I will follow your example and get to work again to get this trooper deployed and out there to clean the streets and cantinas of all those hives of scum and villainy…

Thanks for suiting up once more and delivering those pics, the gap between your back and kidney is a little big but good to go.
I think the shoulder pouch looks much better now and matches the weathering/level of grime and dirt of the rest of your gear very well.

Darren, this was your second and final review, I really appreciate the effort you have put into this and your positive attitude.
You have successfully followed the guidelines in regards to the MEPD CRL and have met the requirements, be proud of yourself.
Please send the pic you want to use to Luis (Sandman Tigui) and we'll get you squared away.
We will have your updated information uploaded into the MEPD system very soon.Congratulations on becoming a Deployed Officer of the MEPD, very well-deserved!
Cheers mate!

Hi Darren, those were some swift improvements, great job mate!
What did you put on the shoulderbell? Weathered chewing gum? Just kidding
That will work.
The only thing I just noticed while overlooking it in my first review is that your shoulderpouch is still way too clean... still got some left-over fullers earth? Make that pouch dirty!
Hausi
Thanks for reply, i just made up a paste using left over plastic and pure acetone, covered over the ukg decal and weathered.

Hi Darren,

Please repaint your vocoder, there´s just too much paint missing and when doing so also have a go at the ears again.
As I have already said before, your weathering is really cool, you did a great job mate.
Keep in mind that the mesh behind the teeth is not screenaccurate as pointed out by some of our fellow dirty dudes, nothing to hinder your deployment but you might want to consider getting rid of it

Your armor suits you very well and you are among the dirties.
Back: please show me a picture of you wearing the armor without the pack.
Shoulderbells: I already mentioned this in my very first post in your thread: decals are not allowed. I have since started a new thread advertising a new idea: wearing arm bands that can easily be taken off again for canon events. Another idea is simply getting a new plain bell.
Please show me a picture in which you are wearing the armor without decals on the shoulder bell.

Nice pack! I´m jealous of that Shires syphon of yours.
The five cylinders on the original #3 pack look slightly different than the ones you have used but that is a detail that only counts should you consider going for SWAT. For this purpose I would also suggest adding a black disc as a backing for your sunshine Tupperware lid/radardish.

That is one highly detailed DLT 19, amazing. As an additional comment, besides the usual wear and tear which you have successfully emulated, you might also want to consider giving it a wash with some sandy colour.

Darren, this was your first review! Keep up the good work, those are some easy changes.
I´m looking forward to seeing some new pics of your improved gear soon.
Cheers mate

Thanks for taking the time to review my deployment request. I was waiting for this weekend to do my additional pictures so they were in daylight, unfortunately by the time I finish work and get home it’s dark.
The DLT is more weathered now and no longer new looking like in the pictures. Those photos were taken on the day I received it, since then I trooped with it a number of times so it’s a bit more scuffed and marked up now.

Thanks again, look forward to hearing from you soon.

The mesh is acceptable for PO. Only for SWAT it is required without mesh.
Thanks for replying about the mesh question, much appreciated
Cheers

Looking realy good. Only the mesh inside the helmet could be wrong.
I like the weathering overall and paintjob on your helmet
Weathering was done using fullers earth, first time Ive used this method but very happy with the results.
Cheers

Excellent work there Trooper!

Looks very good brother and those pouches are just a little too clean. You might have to weather them down more.
Best and I hope to see you in the mess hall soon!
Thanks for you feedback, the pouches are quite weathered already, just doesn’t really show up in the photos

Looks great, should be an easy approval.

That's a good looking kit you've got there, my compliments.
Please do not pay attention to comments that are out of order. This is about your deployment mate!
Good luck with getting deployed!
Thanks for your kind words, very much appreciated.

Hi Darren,
Thanks for your interest in becoming an MEPD deployed officer, your gear looks great, love the weathering!
Please just ignore any inappropriate comments, when applying for PO you are of course allowed to wear different pauldrons as this isn't SWAT yet and you aren't emulating a specific trooper.
I know that the UKG really appreciates their stickers on the shoulder bell but as we here at the MEPD try to be as screenaccurate as possible, you might want to get an extra bell without the sticker or remove it for your application.
I for one can completely understand what that sticker means to you but just as an idea, some of us have come up with the idea of wearing armbands with patches and if there is a canon event, we are able to take them off again (will be posting a separate thread for this soon).
Please also show us a picture of your back while not wearing the pack.
I'll be doing your review asap, keep up the good work!
Thankyou for the feedback, very much appreciated. I will sort out ASAP.

Hey Darren,
As far as my armourer told me with UKG, you should only have one Pauldron in for clearance.
If you are using the white pauldron, to be fare that has to be applied to another costume for clearance.
The white pauldron in this case should not be used for the same costume.
I'm not allowed to, no one else should either.
Otherwise looks good.

If you took the time to look at my pictures you will see I’m only wearing the orange pauldron. I purchased both, weathering both, pictured both and then decided I would go for clearance using the orange.
Please can this comment be removed from my deployment request because it is not relevant.

Hi Hausi
Quick question, I sent pm to Luis on day of clearance but no heard anything back as yet. Just wondering if he received my message and how long it usually takes to be squared.
