Caomhanach Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I am (still) in the middle of upgrading my pack and this will be an invaluable resource... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordvader74 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Unitl I saw this buildup on another forum, I was happy just to live with my inaccurate pack. After seeing Scootch's work and getting ideas from it, I bit the bullet and built my own. I modified it to fit what I have (I used Crashmann seed trays, stinger, tool box, radio/ Sci-Fire cistern and exhuast port) and used this thread almost step by step to build it. I made a slightly different frame but it was scootch's in depth build up that got me going and got me through. I have to do touch up painting and weathering. After that's done, I'll post pics elsewhere for you guys. At any rate, I wouldn't have a decent pack if not for this guy and his amazing build. THANKS SCOOTCH!

Scootch Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 You guys rock! I did see LORDVADER74's pack, it's a combination of homemade,Crashmann, and Sci-Fire parts on a hand made frame. I thought it looked very nice, The Crashmann seed trays are great, and Crashmann is working on making them a bit deeper so I think they will be perfect after that! The Sci-Fire parts are cool too, kind of remind me of the old school NERF stuff. Talk about indestructable! I hope to see his pack posted up soon, it is very nice!

I like it and am proud of it b/c I did it myself. However, I couldn't have done it without your fantastic tutorial and willingness to share.

Prophet Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Scootch, Thanks so much for taking the time to show your handywork! I can't begin to tell you how much this helps! Please, STICKY THIS TUTORIAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Peter Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I second that bro!! 110% AGREED to that! Scootch's visual guide excellently complements the Cheap & easy CPVC pack frame tutorial!. :duim: This facilitates my TD Backpack frame assembly process, using Hollow Steel Pipes.

TK 060 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I found this topic when I needed it the most. You guys have no idea how long I was waiting to assemble this backpack, or be in line for SCI-FIRE to obtain one....but overall, I have most of the parts I need when I was in ITALY, thanks to one of the AWESOME ITALICA GARRISON members (and one of the most accurate TD's today) who facilitated me with the stuff needed. I still have to go through Crashmann for some items, though. I took the liberty of compiling all the data in this thread, and if you guys don't mind (specially SCOOTCH), I would like to convert it into a downloadable PDF File; so that way everyone could be able to download the guide and follow these steps according to everyone's needs. -Robert BH/TK/TB 060 "DarthVader1" Georgia Garrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 IMHPO That would be fantastic. At least it would be of great help to me in the coming weeks. Scootch, please bless this so it can happen. Thanks for the work Robert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK 060 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Do it bro, I'd like to see that. No problem, and thanks for the blessing! I'm currently fixing a few mispellings, terms, reducing images (ones that are not needed for detail scrutiny), and space-saving the whole thing, but it's almost to be posted. It goes at almost 100-and-a-half pages in MSWORD file format. Hi Roberto Remember me? Scootch amazing work!!!!!! You is my hero... How can I forget you?! YOU'RE MY ITALIAN BROTHER (as well as the whole ITALICA GARRISON). YOU are my inspiration to build what years ago I planned for the trooper "BFG" from the BBC. Greetings to you, and the rest of the brothers of the ITALICA over there, which I still miss them....and a vacation trip back to ITALY is in the works as we speak (Martha and myself).

Once I get rid (finish completing) of my current project, I will post the COMPLETE & EDITED EDITION of this topic for download. Stay tuned.

Darthfish01 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 its a fantastic build..but just one small point..whilst looking up some refernce mterial (movie) i noticed that you have mounted the tool box on the wrong side im sure its only a minor mistake that have probabley since fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmann Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 ...i noticed that you have mounted the tool box on the wrong side... It depends on which backpack you are looking at since there are at least 4 variants (or is it 5?) Scootch's tutorial details the buildup of the move along trooper backpack: The pack you posted has the large rectangular air filter on the left, and the tool box on the right (it's also missing the mushroom cap on the top bottle, and the bottle on the bottom of the cistern) Then there's the white dial backpack featuring the large cylindrical air filter on the left and Tupperware Stow-n-Go container on the top right: Don't forget the hoser backpack with upside down radio, even though it doesn't look like the standard issue Sonix Victory 75 And finally, the backpack with ribs on the upper left corner You can see the many different variations by stepping through the alley search scene frame by frame. You'll also learn that the backpacks were falling apart and needed gaffers tape and wire to hold the pieces together. Some parts are just missing, such as the top mortar tube end cap. So, pick a backpack that you want to build, or come up with an idealized custom version, and make it your own! Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
