stormy vs sandy

Right now i'm working on my SE FETT but I want my next project to
be a sandtrooper. I need someone to show me the difference between the two. I hope I dont sound like a retard. I know about the pauldron and ammo pouches but what else?
 
knee diamond is different, the shoulder straps are different (not bumpy), helmet paint is different (without black stripes), no holster, bigger guns and lots of weathering should do it.

I may have missed some.
 
The ab-plate is also different and they have back packs. +++ the MEPD would have all you seek on sandtroopers, and the FISD on stormtroopers.
 
What Nate said and no Drop Boxes. You and Andy can go onto the MEPD website and look at the "Requirements" section for Deployment, that should give you a better idea. Sorry, I don't have an hour to kill listing all the diffrences.

And the best bit, unlike the Stormtroopers, they never lost a battle or get beaten down by Ewoks. Sure they couldn't stop the Falcon as it was making it's escape from Mos Eisley, but a squad vs a freighter is no contest. :)
 
The first set (Stormtrooper TK459) is not highly accurate body armor wise but gives you a good idea of the accessories. The second set (Sandtrooper TD459) is much more accurate overall.

Keep in mind that there is variation between Sandtroopers, but off the top they do not have the stripes in the grey areas of the helmet, addition of pauldron, no ribbed shoulder straps, no colored buttons on stomach/different console, no canister on back (replaced with backpack), different knee plate, much different paint/weathering process, no drop boxes, addition of specific but varied ammo pouches, varied weapons.

Exactly
and I wasn't only speaking of your info
Cr4nky said they should have Backpacks too
NOT ALL TD's have packs.
I referred Woodman over to ART cuz he knows Sandy's inside & out
Just trying to help.
 
The MEPD is definitely the place for sandy info but if there is anything specific I might be able to help you with, I will be glad to throw my 2 cents in. I certainly don't know it all, but I do know a couple of things about sandtroopers...
 
Hey Art since you are the master of the Sandy can I send you mine to finish for me so I can finally get it done??? :lol:
