Bobby you're killing it! And talk about being behind on projects, you're further along than I am with my own pack!! Darn life getting in the way of our MEPD builds lol. This community rules, and its so fun to see all these sandy's working together and sharing ideas. It's what it's all about.

Hi mate, there were actually quite a few sandtroopers with a low brow as you can find in the above thread and picture. Furthermore it is quite likely that the brow has moved during filming, looking sligthly different in each shot as the helmets were bashed around. In the Cantina scene, there's even one sandtrooper outside the cantina, next to the shipwreck who has lost his brow.

I could not have done this second pack without the awesome work done by some of the awesome troopers around here! The pack build threads from @519 Trooper and @welshchris77 have been a huge help. @jcalus has a great post about how to make the pack 5 filter that I used. @henselmonster has another great build thread, and most of the 3D prints I'm using are his files, and they have saved me a lot of time and money! @stormtrooperguy also has some sweet 3D files that I have used. @mikelbrierly has a great writeup on making a frame by just bending pvc. I might be forgetting someone... I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your hard work!

I finally got around to working on the new pack, thanks to the very short winter break I got, better than nothing. I used mikelbrierly's method for bending PVC without crunching it and it worked great! Not going for SWAT so I just used 1/8" aluminum for attaching the boxes. Added a little hot glue on the edges to look like welds before primer! Also started smoothing the print for the canteen and siphon
