bigwam Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Awesome, one of the best if not the best presentation I've seen here. The Trooper is also absolutely top class. I congratulate you on this TD. Weathering, backpack, details... Perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Hi Philip, First of all welcome and thank you for your interest in joining the MEPD´s finest and becoming a deployed officer. Thank you for providing such a tidy application, this is the nicest application with the best pics I have ever seen since I started serving on the MEPD´s forums, great job. I also love the weathering. Your armor fits and suits you well, you look great and your pack is really nice. Is it an RS commission? Okay, enough of the small talk and pleasantries, let´s get your review going.

RESULT ON ARMOR Checked & Cleared Backpack a. details: check b. weathering: check *additional comments* Such nice details on that pack, I always like it when people put the red support straps on their packs too, and the weathering looks spot on. RESULT ON BACKPACK Checked & Cleared Weapon: DLT-19 a. details: check b. weathering: check *additional comments* Beautiful DLT… but as I am already known to say this: If you want even higher screen accuracy, make yourself the Bapty version of this blaster with the wooden back end. While there are Sandtroopers sporting the Bapty E-11 AND the regular E-11 in the movie, I have never noticed them carrying regular DLTs yet. RESULT ON WEAPON Checked & Cleared Philip, this was your first and final review! Your gear looks amazing and you are a worthy addition to the ranks of the MEPD´s finest. Be proud of yourself! You have successfully followed the guidelines in regards to the MEPD CRL and have met all requirements. Please send a pic of yourself in your armor to Luis (Sandman Tigui) and we'll get you squared away. I will have your updated information uploaded into the MEPD system asap. Congratulations on becoming a Deployed Officer of the MEPD! Cheers mate! Hausi - MEPD Deployment Officer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffalo Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 bigwam and Hausi, thank you both for you comments. I sincerely appreciate them, and your feedback. My kit is an RS but not a commission. It’s the result of countless ( slightly OCD, Virgo ) hours spent constructing, re-trimming, modifying, and weathering ( repeatedly ) until I finally got it and the rest of my complete armor looking the way I wanted to. I didn’t however construct it alone, because I couldn’t have ended up where I did without this community’s help. My efforts were made only after researching, reading the forums, learning from what worked or didn’t work for others and asking a lot of questions. I got plenty of help and advice along the way and couldn’t have done it without all of you. I did expect you to comment on my DLT-19 as you have repeatedly to others. Ha! You’d be pleased to know that I’m currently working on a Bapty E-11 and DLT-19 build. Thank you for approving my Deployment. Much appreciated! I’m proud to join the ranks of MEPD’s finest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Taking your time in building it has clearly paid off, great work. I am excited to hear about you having some Bapty versions in the works. Please share your progress here too by starting a build thread, I am looking forward to seeing your work. Cheers mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
