Hey guys, thanks for the info. I will work on that this weekend. Jay

Hummmm, did not know that. Do I drill all out of just the center ones or what. Are there any pics out there to look at.

Thanks for the info, and for having a hand in such a wonderful undertaking. I now just have a few things before rendering ready for deployment. I have my MG-34 coming from hyperfirm on Monday, then weathering. I then have the last part, the Pauldron coming from Seth, someday soon I hope. I am then ready for pics, and on the road. Oh I did forget I have my RomFX coming soon and Stompers speakers to put in my lid.

Ok, now after weeks of working here is what I was able to come up with. First off I used the plastic pipe backframe idea that was listed here, second the parts came from a friend who decided a couple of years ago not to finish the pack he was going to start. I think the parts are some of SethB6025, and TK-1536 work and I dont know who else. The tutorial from TK-1536 was a great source of information. It helped out tremendously. The stinger was two of the outside fawcet insulated covers purchased at Lowes, I took one of them and cut the bottom off and glued it to the top with plastic welder, painted and added the stinger with the water line, and part of a flex drain line. Lots of plastic welder. wire tied to boxes Wire ties were a great idea also and came in handy, along with rivets and washers. Well any questions or comments, let me have it. Thanks to ALL for the great information provided on this site. If you look for it, you will find it.....

After weeks of reading, a major acquisition of parts from a friend, many hours of researching everyones threads on this forum and braksbuddys pics. I have completed my backpack, let me know what you think I will post what I used after the pics.

Rocko, Hey disregard my PM, I think I figured it out. Your pic that is. A great idea I will have to try out. back to the drawing board. Jay

Hey its been since December since last post but if this is going to be completed I am in for a kit. I am new to this and am having a difficult time finding parts to build one so this is ideal and parts look great. Let me know if I should PM or something.

I am good to go, got mine UPS today. Thanks guys

Thanks for the info and the pics. I have 3 coming today from sitharmor also so this helps, knowing what these look like. Will post pics when completed. Jay

Hey just another very interested party. Put me down on the list. Jay

Thanks Will do. Maybe I have been looking in the wrong spot.

????MP 40 pouches. Does anyone have any or know where one can be gotten. Shoot, if no one is making a replica and the originals are impossible to come by, I have a couple of saddle shops near by that could possibly do them. Let me know something soldiers...

Very sorry, total mistake. Will not happen again. Totally was not thinking.

Thanks guys, your info helped out alot. I have spoken to TM, TE2, and TE. After convincing the wife, I will make another purchase I hope.. AP to ----------- The sequal continues.

Hey thanks for the info. I have found that TE uses the HDPE helmet and TE2 uses the HIP or stryrene. I am not familiar with either that is why I am asking. Just wonding which is easier to work with. Jay

Hey I am just about to finish a set of AP armor and now want to look at TE or TE2, Can you guys give me some info into which is which. The differences in either, Styrene, vs HDPE, or anything else that will help in my decision. My AP is going dirt.... as soon as I decide on my other.

Thanks, I will spend some time there to see what I can find. Appreciate your time.

New to this in my second childhood, I have purchased an AP set of armor that is coming to me next week and I am going to definately need some help, ideas to get it as close to movie perfect as possible, Will definately needs some ideas when putting together, and I have found the boots and mic/speaker unit, but now need to get the rest of components. Gloves, neck ring, black suit, belt, Pauldron, blaster and whatever else anyone can think of. Anyone have ideas on the best places to get it. Thanks for any ideas anyone can assist with
