Hausi Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi Gary, welcome and thank you for your interest in joining the ranks of the deployed officers. If you are an approved Sandtrooper, please request Sandtrooper status and access here: To apply for Police Officer (level 2), you will first and foremost need a backpack. Should you later on - after being deployed as a PO - decide you want to take it to the next level, you can apply for SWAT(Level 3). In this case it is possible to emulate a trooper who was seen on screen without a pack. Please also read this thread which shows you what we need to see in your application: Cheers mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMax Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi there. Unfortunately, the costume was not approved. 1. Needs to be more dirty and Sandy 2. A tweak in the sniper knee plate and few other things. 3. Also, would need a MP 40 pouch for my shoulder. Is What I have so far is fine for basic TD approval? I was looking to appeal the gml decision made if that's possible. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I am sorry to hear that your costume wasn't approved but I think those requested changes aren't that difficult and will definitely improve your gear. It's your GML's decision and we will not interfere with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We take great pride in the quality of our costumes at the ECG. If you have any other questions or need any more guidance to obtain basic approval then don’t hesitate to reach out to your GML team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMax Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Fully understand. The tweaking does not bother me and fully understood what's needed. Glad those tweaks were pointed out. The dirty part got me. I do not want to overdo the weathering or underdue. Thanks for your input. Well appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlavaFlave Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 You got this trooper! Just a little more time and effort and then you can join us in the mess hall. Best of luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hey Gary, as your armor looks too shiny and white, just give it a wash with some earth/sand colored paint. You don't have to overdo it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMax Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 I have acrylic paints raw and burnt umber along with tan, mustard, grey and a fullers earth 3 pack from Trooperbay. I came across a thread here where a member used those acrylics to weather it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I always use Vallejo Game Color Earth, it's a sand color acrylic paint and I water it down, about 1/4 paint and 3/4 water, then I brush it all over the armor and almost immediately dab it all off again with paper towels, repeat the process until you are happy with the level of dirt. It looks very natural too and is still subtle. But that is just the way I do it, pretty sure there are also other ways to accomplish the task.
