  1. Great work so far Ghostie, and great job sharing all the details of your build process! The red canvas straps with black airbrushing look spot on! Be sure to dirty up the shoelaces so they don't glow in contrast with the rest of your outfit. Also, your mortar tube is a bit long, and should be 30" in length. Keep up the great work and continue sharing your progress!
  2. Who's got 2 thumbs and offers complete Sandtrooper Backpack Kits? This guy! I know this is an old post, but just in case future sandtroopers are looking for a kit, hit me up! Charlie
  3. On my way to Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, I sat next to a fellow Star Wars fan Teresa who shared her copy of Star Wars Insider magazine #211 (June 2022?) with me. There's an interview with set decorator Roger Christian and the article opens with an amazing high resolution color photo of the roadblock scene, with the best view of backpack #3 ever! Since I was in a cramped seat on an airplane, my cell phone couldn't capture the best copy of the photo The left side of the page had these two fellows milling about I had no idea Star Wars Insider was still being published, but I'm super grateful for Teresa sharing the magazine with me! Charlie
  4. A picture is worth a thousand words, and that definitely shows the tube is just a bit more short and stout. Thanks Hausi! Charlie
  5. Wow, great work assembling the pack and adding the tiny details! @Hausi I'm curious about the stinger being shorter and a little more round. Are you talking about the GioStyle canteen? Charlie
  6. Wow, great work, and very creative in building from scratch Mikel! If you're interested in a resin radio faceplate, I might know a guy - wink wink, nudge nudge Charlie
  7. Do not click the LookSirDroids.com link (and of course everybody clicks on it, then sees "adult entertainment" ) I've updated my post with a link to the backpack comparison on my website. If a moderator could edit the quote in Brian's post, that would keep us all from needing to bleach our eyes. Charlie
  8. Marv, you'll find this detail on the side of the top right seed tray. It might be in the same place on backpack #4 Charlie
  9. Zoinks! I don't know where the directory went, but it's back now Charlie
  10. My backpack kits weigh 12 pounds including the heavy duty box when I ship them out. This includes metal screws and nuts to secure everything together. You don't want to compromise structural integrity for weight savings. Check out Machine's backpack build where he attempts to create the lightest #1 backpack possible: All of the pictures are gone (thanks for nothing TinyPic!) but you should be able to get an idea of the items that went into the pack. At the end of it all, the final backpack weighed 8.58 pounds Charlie
  11. Look Sir Droids is gone?!? Fortunately, I save everything Sandtrooper related, just in case! http://tk386.com/backpacks/ I'll have to dig to see if I can find the pictures from Strider's thread. Charlie
  12. Here's another photo of the radio I found in the archives Charlie
  13. Brilliant! I love seeing backpack builds come together! Charlie
  14. Hah-hah, that's tremendous luck Dave! Care to share the brand of ice cream you were enjoying so we can all rush to the grocery store and clean them out? Charlie
