The "toilet" detail is what's called a Cistern Syphon and it includes the bellows/corrugated part. Folks have been buying modern ones and replacing the bellows part with a Tupperware Hamburger stackers and a vac-fomed dome I came up with. So far, no one has found the original Cistern, but a few came very close. I think "Jack 1970s" got one imported and it looked identical but it was way too big.

Also, the bottom hanging detail is what we refer to as a "Bee Stinger". A Cold Weather Faucet cover, bought at Home Depot for less than $2.00 will substitute perfectly. I made a small vac-formed detail to add the dome at the very bottom.

I also use the UK siphon, on my MH/SB build packs.

I cut off the right side of it, and add the burger stackers and round dot MH/SB part on top of them.

I´m also like you all most 100% sure, that its not the siphon we see in any.

Or the 70´burger stackers used as well in ANH.

I guess its another, older version of the siphon.

Where the side of it is more round as seen in ANH, then oblong siphon we know of today.

Here you see the siphon we know of today, and the one most of us use.

I think you're 100% right about my question about pack #4,

its the E11 of the trooper following up behind :rolleyes::D

Posted Image

I must get some new glasses :D

I think your highlighted areas of the pack are interesting as well.

The radio face plate is definitely upside down and there seems to be a part missing

at the top left. Could those 4 'strips' be the bottom of the seed tray?

yeah, it´s definatly the e-11...

i doubt it´s the bottom of the seed tray because the upper box was the box with only three strips at the buttom.

but i would assume there is another ribbed plate added, look at the very unfamiliar rounded left upper edge.

IMO definatly the wrong shape to be just the standard seed tray...

too me it looks like there used to be 6-7 rolls attached which might have gone missing during filming.

at least if the backpack from the Falcon escape scene IS the same backpack...

remember, 4 rolls on the door scene pack?

look at this picture from the falcon escape scene...

Posted Image

6 rolls still on the backpack

Rocko

I think you're right mate :)

Parts must have dropped off during filming and they just left them off, thinking that no

one will notice. But they didn't think about guys like us examining them inch by inch

all these years later and spotting most of the details :D

Hi there, me again :D .

I´m 100% sure about pack Sergeant #5, and Captain pack #3.

And all most 100% sure about pack # 1 and 4, as the two private troopers.

But i´m still not 100% sure, about how the sergeant pack # 2 looks like <_< ...

I still thinks he even got a pack # 3, or a sergeant pack # 5 like the other sergeant.

I guess he wear a MG-15 weapon, mp40 canvas/tool box.

Here you see him, in the left side of the picture.

Posted Image

In the desert, we see the Sergeant wears a pack # 3.

Posted Image

In Mos Eisley we see the Sergeant wear, the pack # 5.

Posted Image

Mr. BB wear # 5 pack, as for the # 2 trooper.

Posted Image

So i guess # 2 Sergeant trooper, wears the same Sergeant # 5 pack.

The two sergeant, only have different weapons, and pouches on.

# 2 have MG-15 weapon + mp 40 shoulder pouch.

# 5 have the E-11 weapon + the small ww2 spanish hip pouches.

+ the shoulder MP 40 Stolla Wien/LFL ANH/Sci-fire pouches.

Please let my know, what you think/know.

Do the # 2 Sergeant trooper have...

This:

Copy that :) .

I have all the TD gear to make a accurate # 3 and 5 trooper.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Also for making the Dok 94 Captain whit the DLT-19.

Posted Image

I also have the Davin trooper, in place.

Plus the Captain Terrik too.

Posted Image

I can also make the dok 94, T-21 trooper.

Posted Image

I got pack # 3 and 5.

Weapons: HF/ E-11, DLT-19, T-21 (need a MG-15).

Pouches: The two versions of the ww2 spanish ones, seen in ANH + the canvas mp40/tool box pouch.

(sci-fire MP40 versions on its way, hip/hip/shoulder pouches)

So i can make 6 accurate ANH sand troopers.

But one of my favorites, i will have to be non accurate.

Its the # 2 Sergeant sand trooper.

I will add him hip pouches, and a # 5 pack not a # 2 pack.

Here you see him to the left, whit the MG-15.

Over and out... :)

or.....and again......its just a camera trick? ^_^
