Roger that, thanks. Yes, I am rather tall which has made things fun I will get on the backpack and belt now. Thanks, Hollywood

Ok, I've uploaded the Antenna and Feet Parts here. Enjoy. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nWKbjgx6tkkQoOfk5ZB4I122IzefUxY3?usp=sharing

The Sonix Radio I scanned and designed is 1:1 from the original, and the lower bottle and captive neck are as close as I can get without having an original to compare.

Did I not include them? My apologies if I didn’t. I will check tomorrow and address that oversight! The feet and ‘strap’ are one part, with the end of the strap warmed up a bit to give it a curve, like leather.

Ok, the Strap Bracket is now in the grouped files on the google drive, and I've also attached it here. Cheers, DKK DKK STRAP .STL

Hi Don, My apologies, looks like I didn't upload the the part! Give me a few days to access my laptop which is currently offsite, and I will upload and let you know when they are there. Would love to see some photos of your prints and how they turned out. Enjoy, DKK

Fixed the colour. Quick photo of the final result on the radio I uploaded above.

Repaint done. Had to go to a specialist paint supplier to get some RAL 7031 Made up (impossible to source off the shelf here). Field Pack complete.

Left, front and side of the torso. Can anyone see anything glaringly wrong? Awaiting some screws to arrive for the return edge of the chestplate, and the armour is on a mannequin if it looks a little stiff.

Looks like screen accuracy is the requirement for Police Officer.... *sigh* looks like a strip down and repaint is on the cards.

This my pack currently (Humbrol 47) ...

Was there ever a consensus/decision on the definitive colour to be used? I went with Humbrol 47 for the following reason: During production in 1975/76, the Borden Group bought out Humbrol Paints, and merged them into the 'Hobby Products Group.' As part of a marketing push to get their products into the hands of professional model makers, 'Spectrum Packs' of the range of Humbrol enamels were distributed to the biggest studio workshops (Pinewood, Elstree, Shepperton and Bray Studios). The thinking was, the paints could be sold 'to the hobbyist as the 'paints the professionals use.' Now, money was tight on set, and a prop builder would use as much free material as they could (and still do today!). Thats the rationale for my choice as Humbrol 47 is the closest match from the paints available in 1975/76 So the next thing to consider is the actual cameras used, the film stock, and the conditions they were shot under. Despite the 'Roadblock' taking a film time minute to play out, it was shot over two days in varying light conditions as the sun moved across the sky, from fully flooded to angled, more diffused light. The Panavision cameras were using Eastman Colour Negative II 100T Film Stock on location for its all round lighting conditions performance (as opposed to other cameras and stock in the controlled environment of a studio)... the downside is the colours are washed out and lose vibrancy and saturation. So, In summary, in real life, the 'blue' components were a light shade of blue, but on celluloid, after passing through a camera, onto the film stock, in varying light conditions, they appear 'greyblue' on screen. Which leads me to my question... if I am going for accuracy (for Police Officer Deployment) am I going for a replica of the real life item, or the screen version)? Both are technically accurate...

Its Humbrol 47, the lighting makes it look a little bluer in the photo than in reality. I thought if I went with the model paint used on set, I could not go wrong?

Added the smaller Radar Dish backing plate (for the Tupperware 874 Lid..approx 110mm across ). The files above have the Radar Dish Backing Plate for the 800 Tupperware Lid (approx 150mm diameter). There seems to be some conversation around which one is correct... I personally, from my research think they used both. Both backing plates are built with a 70mm Diameter Tube in mind.

...and the results on the backpack...

Right, I've added the watermarks, and the .STL files are for all MEPD users to enjoy. My only request is if you do print them for your builds, you mention its the DKK version :-) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18XEirIOF7_ko5r1ddABS2FAke36J-P0z?usp=sharing All the parts for the radio, plus a bottle and bottle neck that allows for a captive nut, so it can be screwed in, and finally, a Radar Dish mount for the 15cm/5inch Dish (the 800 Lid, not the 874) Any questions, feel free to ask. Cheers, DKK Hollywood

Yes, I am still planning to share it, I just need to make a modification to add a built in watermark on the non visible side, because sadly it appears someone is passing the model off as their own and selling it. My model is free, and always will be for our community, but I’m not happy about people charging others for it :-( At least if it has a watermark, it will be obvious the original model was mine. I will upload it this week, along with a few other models, including a radar dish mount and a bottle model (for the two backpack bottles). Cheers, Hollywood

Just waiting on some accurate 3.5mm sockets to arrive. Holes already built into the 3D print of the main box...just need to pierce the leather wrap and screw in.

3D printed in PLA at .12mm layer height, then a coat of acrylic primer filler to add a layer of smoothness. A gentle wet rub with 600 grit wet and dry. a coat of flat black and some dry brush weathering (Valejo Dark Flesh) to get in all the nooks and crannies like sand would.

Hello all, give me a few days and I will share my digitally scanned model of the Sonix/Northstar, it’s as accurate as one could ever hope for without having an original radio. I’ve broken it down into easier to print pieces. I also made the main box with hex head anchor points and a hollow back to save weight. Cheers, Hollywood

TD19743 Saying hello. Picked up an abandoned armour project about a year ago, was a total mess. Would have been easier to buy a new kit, but I’m stubborn. Approved a few months ago. Have a selection of accessories and pauldrons so I can make a decision on the day of a troop about what configuration fits with the rest of the squad (we can’t alllll be Captains).
