As far as I can tell the Gio Style from Italy was the only one available at the time filming so THE screenaccurate canteen. Anyway, since the “newer ones” are almost a exact match with only some minor differences which are not directly recognizable there also good enough for a backpack build. I guess the original italian Factory just didn’t renew their patent so other manufacturers were able to jump on this to produce almost exact copies!

Looking good! I’m really enjoying your build!

Same for me, pictures are all showing!

Way to go!

Yep, great idea! But since your build is so accurate I highly recommend going for a accurate radio build also! I don’t know if Woodman still sells his but I’m sure @GodOfLibrawould love to help you out with his amazing radios!

Niiiiceee! Always glad to see a movie accurate pack come to life, sadly that also means the build is almost over!

@Sithlord337PM sent! Thanks for the heads up, John!

Yepp, good advice! But it already looks way better than before! You´re on the right track!

Yeah, you don’t cease to amaze us! I always disliked this specific backpack design but your build makes me try that one too!

Gorgeous, mate!

Looking really good! Just lift the whole pack up! Upper end of the bottle should be just a little deeper than the hight of your shoulders/pauldron!

What the...? You got some big nuts, bro! Nice guy that I am, I would take that damaged siphon off your hands.... yeah, don’t thank me!

Hey mate, the paint job is stunning! Especially this picture, not so much the chipped paint but the texture is gorgeous! Did you do this by paint/technique or was this texture already on the raw cast? Almost looks like a two colored paint job, brownish plus black?!

Great attention to details, I really like what you’re doing! Watching with great interest! Keep up the good work!

Did a quick search and this might help... Definatly closed but with a small ridge, have a look yourself...

Nice build, keep us posted! Those transistors were definitely close, I’ll try to dig through my pictures to find a proof...

Nice, I’ll watch with great interest! Btw. Are those „MIC“ and „EAR“ letterings on your woodman radio also decals from him or did you add those yourself?

First dibs whenever you decide to let go your real vintage siphon, John!! AND NOW... show us you complete pack, bro!

Literally years ears ago I found this template on the www. It wasn’t done by me, so all honor goes to the one who made it available back then... pauldron.pdf

Blah, blah blah..... PICTURES!

Congrats Vincent, gorgeous thing! I really don’t begrudge you for this, you really deserve this, bro! What a great thing to see all those finds come to light... one fine day there will be my chance! I just hope they prices will go down for originals as I can’t spend that much money on Star Wars stuff unfortunately!

What, what, what does he mean with so many helmets? How much and please show them all!

I soooo love Babty blasters, especially build with original parts! Gorgeous!

Nice work, bro! Looks stunning! Btw. I have a strong feeling that there is a lifetime skateboarding behind you, huh? Just yesterday i thought about buying myself a oldschool Caballero deck from good old "Ban This" ära...
