solarpickle Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I was just wonderin what you guys thought of my pack. I must admit, I started out with "small" in mind, but the more I got going, the more I decided to go all out with it. I was making trips to Home Depot 3 and four times a friggin day! It's got toggle switches and all kinds of hoo-hah on it and went thru 20 feet of PVC pipe! It's a little on the big side, but it's actually really comfortable and not heavy at all. It's mainly tupperware parts! Plus, ya gotta give it up for the Imperial Seal stencil (did I spell that right?) on the ol' radio there! I only have a few decent shots of the pack, but I plan on taking some more detailed shots soon. Anyway, any crits welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarpickle Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Holy crap TK-432, that "backpack meets gonk droid, where do i plug in?" comment had me in stiches! (and I'm not being sarcastic either, I was laughin my butt off) The one main pic directly from behind does make the thing look enormous I admit, but it's not quite as big as it looks when you put it on. But anyway, thanks for the comments guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarpickle Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yeah, doin the dirt was all KINDS of fun, after of course I got the balls to put that FIRST amount of spray paint on! LOL The first thing I sprayed on there, I did WAY too much and it was just smearing everywhere and I was going "**** **** **** ****!!!!".....but then started wiping it off, it was coming right off with no problem at all, so I was like, "so ok, I can screw up and just wipe it right off? WHOO HOO!! LET's go NUTS!!!" lol What's weird is I thought I overdid it, but in pics, I dont think I look dirty enough. Looks much better in person.

Jack_bauer Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 WOW! Very interesting design. I never think any pack is really too big. This is a custom job. Looks good. I'd add more greeblies to it. Knobs, Switches, lights, etc. To make things look less like tuppaware boxes. I prefer grey over the "sanitary blue" color. But you have just enough to balnce everything out. swell job or a custom hardware pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarpickle Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Yeah, I'm thinking I may tone the blue down just a tad. I was going by the Corporal and the Sergeant statues from Kotoukia (did i spell that right?) but theirs is still a little bit more on the blueish-gray side. And I also plan on adding some LEDs hopefully since I already have the toggle switches in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeroroskk Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 cool pack, it looks like its 'real' if you know what i mean i hereby dub your new and revolutionary pack the 'gonk pack' td257 said 'go big or go home' .......took the words right out of my mouth, 257 now you've given me a goal to strive for on my second pack, thanx, and keep it real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xeroroskk Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 umm..... .......so does this mean i 'officially named' a new pack style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarpickle Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Looks like that might be what you did my man! Now, if folks wanna beef up and start building their own "gonk packs" then we'll need to see about getting royalties right? HAHAHAHA!
