  1. I readjusted the brow and tried to get the left ear more pushed up towards the brow. Now I have a big gap and I've used both set of ears. I will be contacting Trooperbay to see if he can sell me just 2 sets of left ears (hopefully I'll only need 1). Right ear, I'm pretty happy with The ratchet left ear Oh, it doesn't look too bad... Then bam... I can fit my whole hand in there lol....
  2. http://www.mepd.net/mepd-swat-officers/ Milo and Darthchridan stick out the most.
  3. There is at least one SWAT "Look sir, droids!" that I know of on MEPD. Sorry, I should have taken a straight view of the ears. I actually need to adjust the brow after looking at the reference photo today. I'll get more photos tonight after the adjustments.
  4. I ended up taking out the bottom rivet and using the ear to push it down. I easily have over 2+ hours on each ear. Did my best to thin it out and keep some gaps but not a lot. Here's my results, feedback in welcomed. I still need to finish refining the teeth. I'm not sure what to do with the ear ends. Do I trim it and file it so it fits into the S seal? Can someone please share a picture of the bottom of their bucket? I know you're suppose to screw your bucket on your head when donning it, but it is still super tight. Would it be ok to take a little off the back edge?
  5. I have a sealing iron, would it be safe to reshape or should I redo the rivets?
  6. Hello, everyone! I know you guys for the most part are squeaky clean TKs, but I have always loved the look of sandtroopers. I got a MTK kit from Trooperbay and have started the long journey of building my TD. I was a Sergeant(E-5) when I was in the Army before getting out a year ago so I choose to roughly replicate Davin Felth's Sergeant Look Sir, Droids! sandtrooper. Obligatory brown box photo.... BTW how in the heck did Mike manage to fit that all in the box?! I couldn't get it all back in. All laid out with some of the supplies I had when it arrived MEPD has confirmed there is an 8th tooth on this sandtrooper and it's super small. I may make it more square though. Suggestions? After looking at this picture, I might drill the rivets out and adjust, I'm getting too much bulge out of the side and it's going to make placing the ears difficult. You can really see it here:
