Hi my friends,

i thought it's time to refurbish my backpack. About 20 troops later there are some cracks and abrasions which have to be refurbish. And i liked to install a new Radio (one of OpiWan and mine).

The "old" look

So let's start with the disassembly:

Now the renovation part:

i replaced the caps because i had the original tupper ice Cups somewhere in my chaos;-)

That looks really cool bro.

The magnets for seedtray closure will make it very useful. I have a similar configuration on my pack.

Looks really cool.

Great work.

I need to do something like that to my pack too.

Just would like to find a vintage frame first... and maybe a vintage canteen too.

Saludos.

I don't know if the weathering intenseness of the pack is the same as of the armor.

I checked some references of other packs and i just clearly see that the control panel is a little bit weathered and the radio.

the other parts look really clean...the boxes of the captain in the road block scene are clean...the bottles too. And take a look

on the radar dish. It's the original color. No dirt, no white (i think i have to change it).

So my friends: I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Let the left one, dude...Edit: But Opi is right....better is the right one...it's the original one.
Because of the weathering...well, look at the closer pics of the backpacks...I think you're right with your opinion about the weathering...a bit less weathering at the edges and corners is better as a 'mud' weathering ;):lol:
