Hope you Have a Merry Christmas too!

It is a great looking custom pack. For approval, however, there are specific guidelines for what the pack is supposed to look like: http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_hwt Backpack For 501st approval: Styled after the ANH Sandtrooper packs or a simplified pack as seen in the video game (Battlefront series). For level two certification (if applicable): Backpack should be lightly scuffed,(battle worn), but not weathered like a Sandtrooper (TD). For level three certification (if applicable): If an ANH style Sandtrooper pack is used, it shall have the appropriate details for a specific ANH Sandtrooper, which is being referenced, but shall not be weathered like the ANH Sandtrooper, but lightly scuffed,(battle worn). If a game style pack is used, it shall closely match the simplified pack as seen in the video game (Battlefront series), but shall not be weathered like the ANH Sandtrooper, but lightly scuffed,(battle worn). It will be great to troop with at a non-canon troop though.

The kits will happen...patience young Troopers...

Keep us up to date, looks like the undersuit will be the challenge.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!! To all the non American Troopers...Happy Thursday!!

Same thing, you can buy the patches when available, but you are asked not to display it on jackets, shirts, bags, etc. until you are awarded EIB or Centurion Status.

It is an idea that has been mentioned, nothing going as of now though.

Not sure what exactly you're looking for but 501st Detachment and all related 501st patches are only available to members of the 501st. If you are a member, there is a patch database in the 501st members forum.

Excellent!!

I use snaps on the back of the ammo belt for both the holster and the drop boxes. When I dirtyed it up for HWT, I used dust from activated charchol for aquarium filters. I put it in a ziploc baggie and smashed the charchol lightly with a hammer. This made some pinholes in the baggie allowing me to brush it lightly in spot to look like carbon scoring. After that, I lightly coated it with hair spray. Doing it this way allows for it to be cleaned off for pure shiney trooping.

Looks Great!! Good Luck Trooper!!
