pashnak Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 OK so I am ready to attach the dish to the botom of the tube then attach the tube to the pack. Any advise is gratefully received as I can't find a tutorial. Here i have painted a CD black and added a washer so the bolt fits This is the Jug lid which will have a hole drilled in the centre for the bolt end and nut Plan is to superglue the lid to the disk These are the bolts etc The bolt will go through a hole in the pipe through the CD, held with a nut This will then end up like this (hopefully) When attached to the pipe is it in direct line with the panel or offset a bit ?

inglorious trooper Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 the way your doing it seems to be fine mate,as for the angle compared to the td plate,i may be wrong but it may be different depending what trooper your emulating, which one are you doing?

pashnak Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Whilst not going for SWAT, I am sorta leaning to the coward trooper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Why is he called the "coward" trooper? I understand the "move along", and "look sir, droids" and a few others. I just have not heard this name yet. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashnak Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 ah I call him that as I believe he's the one that hides behind the boxes in the hanger bay shootout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hoping the "coward" label doesn't stick since this is the trooper I have emulated, lol! I would like to suggest the following alternatives: 1) the evasive trooper, 2) the smart trooper, or 3) the live-another-day trooper. Notice, he's not alone back there! Your lab pipe, by the way, is looking nice. The center of my dish lines up with the button on the panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc6538 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yup, mines attached exactly the same way, and like Beren's, is pretty much aligned with the control panel button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashnak Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 OK this this is how it currently looks. Any comments welcome in case I've missed something. Next question is how best to fix to the backpack frame ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inglorious trooper Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 looks great, to attach to the frame i used cable ties and also is now drilled to my frame with self tapping screws as quartermaster suggested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 There is a sanding disk backer that you use. I have a screw that goes through the tupperware lid, through the sanding disk backer and into the mortar tube. If you use one of those self taping screws you don't need a nut to hold it in place.
