    Great, as far as I'm concerned there's nothing standing in the way of Level 2.
    I have to ask again - you don't have basic approval for the Trooper yet? If not, do it quickly and as soon as the TD Basic is approved, I will switch you to level 2. I have to stick to this order.

    Regards Thomas

    I have been approved by the 501st already, but I’m not sure what you mean. What else or what do I need to do in order to have basic TD approval?

    I just saw that you don't have a "Basic" approval yet? However, this has to be done first, I overlooked that.
    Despite everything, you won't have any problems with submitting the TD for a Basic. If you add the screws (M3 countersunk head) - like in the picture - then you will also get approval from me for Level 2 - the Police Officer.

    Here we go! M3 countersunk head screws 57 mm apart on bottom chest to simulate original strapping system.

    A nice presentation and if you submit the one picture later, nothing will stand in the way of being promoted to police officer.
    One more small question: What purpose do the holes in the rank bars serve?

    Best Regards, bigwam

     

     

    Thanks Bigwam for the feedback! As for the holes in the rank bars that is used for my hearing device. There are small mics installed into there and holes help me be able to hear everything around me while trooping. 

    For the screws I chose not to put them in this run since I would require some more work. I was hoping for a basic approval for now, but maybe later this year I can simulate the screws.

    Bottom chest screws

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    Posted

    For the screws that go on the bottom of the chest plate. I could not find much information on where and how to place them

    I know there is a total of 6 that go their and also I'm not entirely sure if they're exactly necessary for basic approval. 

    I wanted to know what type of screws I would need to use, the measurements of the spacing and placement as well/

    I tried to look at the CRL requirements for this but didn't see anything on it. 

    I use a snap strapping system on my armor, I know the RS Prop masters kits already come with these screws and straps. 

    Also wanted to  know if there are any other areas these screws are required?

    Single Rivet under cod piece.

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    Posted

    I cant for some reason find to much info on this specific detail.

    I already have the two punch rivets on the bottom butt plate that is bellow the cod. 

    For the front bottom cod piece I see we need a single rivet there. 

    Not sure where to find these single rivets or what size I need, or the dimension that they are supposed to be placed.

    Any help would be amazing!

    Got My Armor! But.... Not sure where to find any reference.

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    Hello troops! 

    I just got my armor kit AM 5.0 the other day with Sand Trooper kit and can't wait to get started on my armor. I joined my local garrison and asked tons of questions.

    Only problem is most people in the garrison are TK's and  other various units and don't know too much about TD units. I know for sure some differences from the TK like having no white armor shoulder straps, a diamond (sniper) Knee plate, different abdomen buttons, no ammo cartridges, helmet decals are different, and of course the paint on the buttons. I just need something I can get a solid reference from a TD.

    I try to look up photos of ANH Sand Troopers but the quality is so blurry I cant make out some of the details.  I'm not entirely sure what type of abdomen buttons are different from the TK.  

     

    I tried looking through some of our old threads but allot of the links are broken and lost. 

    Any help would be amazing!

    Spanish Pouches

    in Pouches, Pauldrons, and other Accessories

    Posted

    Hey guys.

    I've been looking for a Spanish pouch and would like to stay under $60 for one. I have found some on Etsy for around $70 from TrooperBay but I also found some from a Military merchant on Etsy but the pouches look just a tad different. The description says they are for bounty hunters but the size and dimensions look so similar and the only differences I can see are the stitching on the front of the pouch. I tried to post images but for some reason I cannot do it because I've reached a limit. So I can only provide a link to the shop. If these are not acceptable if anyone can try to point me in the right direction please let me know. 

     

    The listing link is here.

    Weathering Equipment

    in Weathering

    Posted

    Hey fellow troopers any idea's on weathering our sandy packs and blasters? Should we use the same method as we use on our suits? Should we weather them at all? I currently use acrylic paints with colors such as burnt umber and territorial beige and khaki with a sponge brush and wet wash cloth. Any tips or pics of examples would be amazing.
