LoveMonkey Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. The wait is killer, reminds me of waiting for my 501st approval. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Glad to see you finally submit! The wait is agonizing just like waiting for 501st approval. Definitely get that ab button changed out as soon as you can even though it may not be a requirement. Paint those screws white and weather them too.

THE TROOPER Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Lookin great bro. Love the weathering. Nice attention to detail. Only things I see is you may have to re-submit the pics. of the cod piece with the screws painted, and your pack might have to come up a little. Other than that, should be an easy pass. Good luck bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yep, you want to wear your pack so the top seed tray is as close to the top of your shoulders as you can. It's more comfortable to wear any type of pack higher on your back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Dude, looks really good, only a few things I see. Your pack does need to come up. Great job on that! Need to paint those rivets white and weather them up a bit. same with the non-functional screws. Also, your belt is way too low! Need to bring that up also. And yea, I would replace the 4 buttons with the 3 button, though I don't think it is a requirement. Great job man, almost there!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hi Kirk! The wait time for an MEPD approval is nothing in comparison to other wait times...for example for TBs;-) Welcome and thank you for your interest in becoming an MEPD Deployed Officer!

In your case I see 4 ab buttons. Just the SE Sandtrooper in the opening Tatooine scene had 4 ab buttons. Your trooper is an original one and so I would like to please you to replace the 4 button sheet into a 3 button one. Your strapping screws are to present.

LoveMonkey Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Don't stop brother, we're waiting for you in the sandbox. If ya need a hand with anything just shout. I appreciate that. If all goes according to plan (and I don't see why it won't), I should have all the changes made and pictures uploaded tomorrow. Luckily, jason10012 had a spare 3 button ab plate from his AM kit that he was gracious enough to give me. In looking at it, I realized that I did not receive any of these 3 button ab strips in my kit. Pictures coming soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
