theGreatSot Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Welcome to the MEPD TK-1842 and TD-8872! What all will I need to convert to sandy, and how much will it cost me? This link and the search function at the top of your screen should get you pointed in the right direction: MEPD Requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skater Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Skater here from the great state of Taxacusetts. Just getting started in the whole trooping scene and trying to figure out what to get for my first armor. I went through TK, TS and TC but I think the gritty, grubby look of the TD best suits my personality. I hope you will all be able to help me in quest to become one of Mos Eisley's finest. First task, armor and bucket, any suggestions Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catfish Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ello people. Chris aka Catfish here from Squad 7, Jacksonville, FL. I'm buds with Florida_Phil, Fochs, and "Boyce" aka Mikal Bre-Dav and anyone of the other dirty boys that have rambled in here from S7. I've mainly been a soft armor costumer in the 501st, but I was given a solid chance to get into some armor and I took it and ran. My basic TD is completed, but I've already say back and looked at how to improve upon it quickly. Hopefully I'll make all the fellow TD's proud and join the deployed status soon enough. -CF. Me so far: This is the intro to the FLG PR video being produced by Grunt (Terry) a member of Squad 7. The TDs and Vader got to have fun.

Jack8005 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hello there, Thisi is Giacomo, CT8005, Italica Garrison's CO. After enjoying so much building and weathering my 501st Clonetrooper, I couldn't resist the temptation to start a Sandtrooper! So a FX kit is in my garage, ready to start being assembled, a new Stunt helmet along with the pauldron is on its way to Italy and hopefully I'll have this done by next spring. I will post regular updates once I'll start working on the kit. For the moment, I'm sharing with you two galleries of my 501st Clone: WIP: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24266722@N04/...57622718769786/ Finished Job: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24266722@N04/...57622718904400/ Cheers, Giacomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD-9285 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi, TD-9285 chiming in. I usually jus tpoke around the detachment boards without signing in but I figured I'd actually log in and say something since I got nominated for Detachment CO. Admittedly, I'm not active on detachment boards but I figured I'd say hi and I might volunteer my services if needed. Happy to help where I can.
