Garrison: Old Line Garrison

Trooper Emulated: Alley Check Captain with E-11

Deployed Police Officer: yes

Growing up, A New Hope was my favorite film. Before I joined the 501st Legion, I knew I wanted to be a Sandtrooper with MEPD. I knew I wanted someone unique to model after, so I chose the Alley Check Captain.

What's unique about this trooper is that the build for the backpack needed to be modified from the standard "Move Along Pack" ... The black and blue bins need to be swapped in a varied combination and had up to two Spanish small pouches. 

One of the challenges for me seemed to be shooting the angle right. I'm a little short for a trooper, 5'3" (63cm), so getting the angle to match was a bit harder than I had anticipated. Because of the size variation, matching the exact proportions and angles were particularly difficult. 

2) Armor at various angles:

I believe this is the same trooper as seen by the matching weathering on his chest armor and helmet but with two different weapons

**Please note, while taking my submission photos we broke my E-11, so I had to use my Hasboro blaster as a backup. Happy to retake these with the correct E-11 once reprinted/painted etc (in photos above).

@ Heather

Thank you for your interest in joining the Elite and submitting your request for SWAT OFFICER Activation.


During this process, details will need to be even more fine tuned in comparison to past SWAT members. The bar is always being set higher.

Your enthusiasm towards becoming a SWAT Officer is noted. Command Staff needs to point out here in the preliminary stages that although your armor may have passed Standard Officer status, your armor and gear will need a lot of re-works and heavy mods to clear SWAT.


You may want to compare notes and ask for guidance from these previous SWAT Applicants who have attempted this particular Screen TD (ALLEYWAY CAPTAIN) and were cleared & activated. Their advice will definitely help you reach your goal properly:


As stated before, we always stress PATIENCE during this process as we pay more and more attention to the gear of each new SWAT applicant. The MEPD Senior Commanders and myself will give your armor / gear a full inspection and review. Some details may definitely be missed and re-checked, but we will try to catch them on every pass given until you are cleared and ready to join the Special Weapons & Tactics Team! 

 

If you are up to what is shaping up to be a challenging task, then let's begin...

Nice start Heather let me get some pics together and we'll go over all the needing attention 

Cheers 

Vince

Posted (edited)

Ok

Firstly thanks for the pics 

Quite a bit to do here still,

* HELMET

your helmet looks good didnt realize youd finished I'm sorry or I'd of mentioned sooner, still missing the joker grin (pics below)

 * ARMOR

Good work on shoulder straps and chest pattern looks good to me, snap on right side and adjustment looks spot on.

Everything else still needs work. 

Your neck seal unapprovable sorry to say needs to be leather or look like leather(e.g. vinyl ) and be ribbed, this appears to be cloth, with lines sewn in it. ( not very good shot but pic below can see clearly in movie at time pic taken)

Still need long strap on small pouch that is attached to shoulder pouch.( pics below)

Shoulder pouch still needs blocks to fill pouches and stop them collapsing in. Shoulder pouch with the close up pics definitely needs a lot of weathering also. (Pic below)

Thighs stil need to be replaced or modified heavily at the top, as they dont match screen trooper( pic below)

Sniper plate- I see you moved you calf up to raise sniper plate, that's only made the bottom of calf sit way to high and not match designated trooper (included in pics below) you need to physically move the sniper plate higher on your calf so top of calf is a bit below halfway of middle of sniper plate. (Pic below)

https://1drv.ms/f/c/E9691DD4B7387089/IgBO0VkKwtofTbR43nsdm6FZARRhpwp-kB8nz3sQ5Q-Oxjo

Thank you for resubmitting pics 

Results here pending further adjustments 

Once those are completed and your weapon and backpack adjustment have been done we can start round 2 of submission.

Just remember once you feel you've done all required changes,  you need to resubmit all pics front-helmet on and off, back-pack on pack off, sides with arms up n down, pack on for side shots, for us to begin round 2.

Please reach out if anything isn't clear to you 

Cheers 

Vince
