  1. Looks great, I like the subtlety of your weathering! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I'm looking around for a cnc barrel to do an e11 build on. I saw that Phoenix Props used to sell them and even an entire kit. Id be interested in that or possibly doing a build from a real parts kit. Does anyone know where I might be able to find what I'm looking for? Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Looks really good! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Awesome build! Question, based on this build should we in fact have the dial, sonix, and control letters for swat? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Looking good! When you get around to the backpack I would definitely look at what Crashmann offers. I know there are several people that offer good kits, I built the one by Crashmann and really liked it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. HappyTrooper.Com thanks for the recommendation for the backpack straps. I just finished my backpack and ordered a pair. They work perfectly! Real easy to attach without any hardware and they're sturdy too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Thanks guys! I'd definitely recommend your kit to anyone Crashmann! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. After about 2 months I finished my field pack. I bought a Crashmann kit and it was the perfect winter project. I'm waiting on padded shoulder straps but consider it complete otherwise. Here are a few photos with my son modeling the gear. (The pauldron isn't weathered yet). Thanks to everyone who answered questions and posted WIPs they were a huge help! Eventually I should have the rest of my armor but this was a great " in the meantime" project! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Great, thanks for posting! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Is there a source for decals for the radio? I know trooperbay sells them but they're in English. Or is that movie accurate, I cannot tell from the stills I've seen. And if trooperbay are the ones to get do they properly fit a Crashmann radio? Thanks in advance for any help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks for the links, great job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Thanks for the reply, I'll check the SWAT threads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Hey, I'm sure someone here can give me the correct answers! Backpack #3- Does it have the lab pipe on the left side (looking at it from the back)? I've seen it with and without. In fact the photos here showing the different packs has it without. What color should the hanger be that holds the canteen/stinger to the bottom of the seed tray? Do the screws that go through the mushroom caps get painted? Are there specific measurements for how to accurately place the various pieces on top of the seed trays? Thanks in advance for your help it's much appreciated! This Crashmann kit is a lot of fun to build[emoji1360] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. Thought I'd share this process I used to make capacitors. I found these screw caps at an ACE hardware in the isle with the loose nuts and bolts, they're $.33. I used the lid on the bottom of the pvc tube and used the part with the hole for the top. I glued a scrap piece of plastic to cover the hole and then drilled small hole through that to fit a piece of coat hanger through. Then I hot glued the coat hanger in place and glued that in the top of the capacitor. The tops are a perfect fit for the tube. I think they look pretty good, and it saves on having to cut out tiny circles of plastic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Thanks, here's the tool box. The one thing I found works best is to glue the bottom part of the side pieces on the jig only, and then glue the vertical edges when it's off the jig. I put each box together in about 3 minutes. Zap a Gap held them perfectly and now I'll reinforce them with E6000. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I'm working on my back pack and needed to make the tool box and radio. I thought about using wood or plastic squares to ensure the boxes ended up square. Instead using three scraps of plywood I made a jig to make the gluing process easier than trying to tape everything together. As long as the jig is square all you have to do is lay your floor plate and sides on the base and you can glue them with zap a gap and zip kicker to hold them and follow up with e6000 or whatever you want. This worked out really well for me so I thought I'd pass it along. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Cool, i'll look into it thanks. Thanks again for posting this, I'm building it with my sons and we're having a good time with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Well thanks to Crashmann I'm going to get started on my pack. Looks like a great kit. Thankfully there are some good tutorials here. [emoji1360] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Is there anyone who sells t tracks that would work for this? Or any ideas of what could be used? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Question about the packs are the "shotgun shells" actual shotgun shells? If so, high or low brass and what gauge? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Great project! Nice job with the video and templates, I've got them printed out. This would be a fun project to build with my boys. Thanks for sharing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Oh, I thought there was a YouTube video I saw where Bluetooth was used. Im not really a tech guy. Still looks like a good system though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Ok thanks, looks like a good alternative to the Icomm. Especially with a Bluetooth set up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. That looks great, nice job! How did you like that as a kit? I recently got in contact with him and would like to get one when I have the funds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
