Your question about the pouches may need to be directed to someone on MEPD.net. The CRL (copied below) seems to say MP-40s are required for shoulder and right hip. I'm not sure how you would attach the shoulder pouch since it attaches to the left strap of the backpack, which isn't required for 501st approval. Your best bet is to ask on MEPD.net.
Ammo Pouches
For 501st approval:-
All Sandtrooper armor parts are weathered.
- See the Sandtrooper weathering page for more information.
- Black in color, made of canvas, leather or leather-like German MP-40 style ammo pouches.
-
The standard configuration calls for a minimum of two pouches:
- one pouch on the left shoulder and one on the right hip.
- A third worn on the opposite hip is allowed.

I joined the MIMIC run last week but am at the bottom of the waitlist. Curious about how the TD will look for the kit and the helmets.
-
Take it steady and you'll get there. So far, so good. (You need more Lego for your build though).
-
Weird that the torso costs the same as an arm or a leg (there's a joke in there somewhere).

I always heard chicken cookie jars and plaid table cloths were expensive.

Really beautiful finish on the blaster. You're hard work really paid off. The electronics are very nice as well.

Hi neighbor! Good luck on your quest.

That contour tool is very cool. Didn't know it existed either. Thanks for mentioning it.

Joshua, good luck on your TD journey. Hope you push to SWAT status.

I'm (very slowly) working on a FO TS build. I got my backpack kit from Backstage Props earlier this week but haven't started building yet. The quality is very good and comes with a decal sheet.

I've been following the MIMIC thread on the RPF and am thinking about getting a kit. Are you going to get the pieces in waves or all in one go? Any notification if it's shipped yet?

Some materials fiberglass resin etc require more protection.
Safety first troopers!
What kind of respirator is required for fiberglass? Thanks.

Luis, good luck with your build !
Can someone provide a link to Walt's FB page? I've searched and can't find anything. Thanks!

The below link has a lot on information on the FO stormtrooper armor (including the executioner) vendors.

Thanks Darren, i will
Hi, Mainly PlasticDip the inside of all the parts, But also around the inside of the ankles and spats i added Felt. To both add cushion and protection to the boots.
For the Yoke and Chest Plate, i added Small D ring Rubber weatherstripping to also protect the parts form scathing against one another.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking more about what was done to the inside of the armor before the Plasti Dip was added; such as sanding, etc.
-
Other than the Plasti Dip, did you do anything else to the interior of the armor? Thanks.
-
Whose TIE armor did you get?
-
You did a beautiful job on the backpack! I may try for a FO snowtrooper costume in the future and this will be a helpful resource for the backpack.

Hey Dustin,
Thanks very much for taking the time for making the list! I haven't decided yet if Jimmi's is the route I'll go, but you've been a big help.
