  1. Hello all, I have been working on a new electronics board. It is one that I use in my T-21 builds. I will be offering them up for sale. I am trying to gauge interest in this board. Depending on the interest, it will tell me what kind of order I need to place to have my design made. It can be used in many different builds. Here is the flyer of what the board does. It can do many things. I will be offering different packages based on your needs. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  2. Had a go at casting some radar dishes. Cast from a vintage 4" Tupperware lid. The second one I added a lip but I may reduce the diameter by a few millimetres Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk

  3. Using one of Vincent's canteens to make the bee stinger for the sandtrooper pack can be completed in several ways. This is just the method on how I completed it. Couple views: The first step is to remove the straps then use a flat head screwdriver or any shimming device to pop off the tan top and bottom pieces. This is fairly easy to do just take your time. I use a plastic shim I bought from an auto parts store. I can't even tell you how many times I've used this in various projects. Next, you'll want to use a hacksaw or dremel to cut off the spout or opening of the canteen as flush to the top as you can. You will also need to sand down the lip and piping on the cap. Alternatively, you could use a scrap piece of ABS and make a circle. Once I shaved the cap down, I used it as a template to widen the hole on the canteen. You will need to do this so the cap fits inside the canteen once you put the top tan plastic piece back on. I used a 3/4" hose commonly used on a kitchen sink hose for the stinger itself. I used a wooden dowel inside of it to stiffen it up. Drill a 3/4" hole on the center of the cap and insert the stinger. I glued it in place from inside of the cap. I then glued the cap inside of the top plastic piece. Finish it off by painting it black as well as the bottom plastic piece. The Lion Star canteen and Gio Style Safari 600 both have a texture that we are unsure of was present in the movie or not. I decided to remove the texture with an orbital sander. I painted the body of the canteen battleship grey and reattached the components.
