maj_hassel Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I was painting some parts today (TS rig mostly) and, as I looked at some of the other parts I had lying around, I thought I'd put my pack components together and see what I had going so far. I got pretty thrilled when I saw the pieces in one place so I thought I'd fire off a few pics and share them. (Now take into account that nothing is really attached to anything and some items, like the bottles, need to be trimmed to a more correct length) Here's all of the parts I have so far: Here's some of the upper pieces: ...and some of the lower pieces: Here's a brief rundown on the components: [*] The scoop assembly is made up of wooden doweling + a vacuum cleaner nozzle with a tip I fabricated out of craft foam + an Altoids gum container[/*:m:kuyy6kcy] [*] Two kitty-litter trays (top box has a speaker mounted in the top which is connected to a Hyperdine soundboard)[/*:m:kuyy6kcy] [*] An auto air filter[/*:m:kuyy6kcy] [*] Two Lysol wipe bottles[/*:m:kuyy6kcy] [*] Two Tupperware dessert cups and a meat keeper[/*:m:kuyy6kcy] [*] An Alvin Ice Tube cut lengthwise and rivited to fit inside detonator caps[/*:m:kuyy6kcy] The only parts I bought from a maker were the radio box faceplate (TE) and the radar dish which I got off eBay. Take into mind that I am not going for 100% screen accurate, just something that looks pretty close. This way it will have more of a personal touch to it. Oh, and let me apologize to all of you sandies out there for how freakin' CLEAN everything is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 What filter did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maj_hassel Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 What filter did you use? I believe it's a Purolator #A54855. I think Fram makes a similar/identical part #CA7600. If you get one be sure that when you cut the base off (i.e. w/ a Dremel) you're in a well-ventilated area. Bad fumes. Very stinky. BTW: Can anyone give me advice on what else I need to make this complete? [*]I know I need straps, but is there another long black piece that goes along the left side of the pack? [/*:m:3p7vuciu] [*]What about those little tube pieces? I'm trying to make the pack with the filter on the top left corner (sergeant?). Are those pieces needed to make it accurate? [/*:m:3p7vuciu] [*] Does anyone have a measurement for how long the grey bottles are supposed to be? [/*:m:3p7vuciu] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
