Well one Irishman to another, how could I resist? How much do you want for it? Got any pics? If it's easier for you, you could send it to my parents in N Ireland.

I need one more measurement. The box in the top left (not the tube circled in the image). Does anyone know the size of it? Better yet, if you have a 3D file for it then I can get one printed up Thx

Thanks

It was this reference that I think shows all the angles being 90 degrees: At the bottom of each pack (admittedly you can only see one side on each), you can see that it is a right-angle. The two frames I have are both plastic so not sure which one you thought looked better but here is my interpretation. I know the homemade frame has no bend in the upright pipe. I'll do that later I'd love to hear what you guys think. Thx AW

Thanks for the feedback. The biggest problem with the frame that I bought is the bottom part. It should be four 90 degree angles according to the reference pics but it's actually more like 90, 120, 120 and 90 again.

Due to our good friend Mr Corona, not much has been happening with my kit but I am now trying to get back in action. The backpack frame that I bought off the web was all wrong But the good thing is that it's encouraged me to try and build my own. I looked at the Scootch guide and it's great but when I followed his measurements, things got a little weird. The sizes I used were 438mm (17-1/4"), 254mm (10") and 89mm (3-1/2"). I cut the pieces and roughly put them together... But when I placed my seed trays (bought from Trooperbay) inside the frame (just to get a rough idea), it looked wrong... It feels like the whole thing is a just a bit too wide. It might be because my corners are not as sharp as Scootch's... So, the question is, how wide should the whole backpack frame be? This is the one I bought of the web. I think it's a better width... What do you guys think? While I'm asking questions, the angle for teh bend in teh frame should bea round 30 degrees, right? Thx

Could you perhaps post measure,ents of the height, width and depth? Preferably in cm/mm rather than inches. Thx

Not according to this SWAT requirements page: http://www.mepd.net/?page_id=910/ I don't know which is correct but if the SWAT reqs ar wrong then they really ought to be updated. Does anybody know which is right?

I couldn't find any direct comparisons of the different types of backgrounds so I decided to make this image. It's been useful for me so maybe it'll help some of you too As far as I can see from teh CRL, thes are the only approvable variants. If anyone knows of more, fore up a pic and I'll add them Cheers AW

@Sn4k3, using fullers earth powder and hairspray.

There seem to be two main groups when it comes to weathering. There’s the people who use fuller’s earth and then there’s the paint and clean off brigade. I don’t want a bunch if ”this way is right” answers but what are the advantages and disadvantages of the two?

How did you attach the straps? Glue? Note: I haven’t opened the straps yet (the king of losing things) so it might be totally obvious once I’ve done that.

Yes, I got the strapping kit from you. Just seeing how people actually attached things and if there are alternatives

Next question. What’s the best way to attach the bells, upper arms, thigh pieces etc? Buttons on some form of material strap, velcro, glued material straps? Thx

Thanks Thomas

I’m building a Troopermaster kit and I’m sure I’ll have a bunch of stupid questions. Maybe others will find some of the answers useful too... These are in no special order, just as they come to me while watching tutorials and/or when I’m actually building So, here we go with question one. There are a bunch of snaps, rivets etc that end up visible (on the helmet ears, under the codpiece, the sides of the torso pieces and son on). Do all of them get painted white in the end or are some left the way they are or even painted some other colour? And should the white be gloss or matt? Thx Andrew

Thanks Unfortunately the images in the first post are no longer available And the LookSirDroids.com site is dead

Can someone help me with a few measurements: 1. The length of the tube hanging on the right hand side of some of the backpacks 2. Dimensions of the 3-line trays 3. Dimensions of the 5-line trays 4. Dimensions of the Sonix radio box Is there a description somewhere of each of the pack types? Thx

Hi folks, I've got a pair of Kylo Ren boots from Imperial Boots. I'm super happy with them so I figured that I'd just go with them again for my upcoming sandie. But their shop is currently closed and money is burning a hole in my pocket. Are there any boot suppliers that are better than IB or shall I just try to be patient and wait for IB to reopen in Jan? Thx AW
