Great resource link, thanks for posting!

Yes, very nice T-21.

It looks awesome Greedo! I have one of your shorter clone blasters, you do great work! J

Skutch, in the next mp3 you should add some sandtrooper conversation (the two troopers investigating Kenobi's handy work maybe) from the cantina with the band playing in the back ground. Fans will be able to pick up on it quick. J

It's a beauty Morten. Congrats on deployment! J

Congrats on your deployment, your Sandy looks great!

That looks really good berkal!

I would like to extend another congrats to 9945's deployment and excellent costume. The MPED is expanding into quite a large unit

Congrats on your official deployment 6602. Your Sandtrooper looks like you put a lot of time into it! J

Congrats, everything looks great! J

Looks good! The trigger is really cool. Are you adding a sling?

Very nice Sandy 9914. The weathering looks cool. Looks like a sand storm got the better of you Congrats on your deployment! J

I was hoping you would make more Sandtrooper ones Skutch....lol.....but yes I really dig it. Thanks again, J

Very professional looking websight. J

Here is a build up demo: http://web.mac.com/mikeharrison/mh_backpac...ions/page1.html The link doesn't explain how to attach the "completed pump" you are referring to but I will explain how I did mine. Buy four round head wood screws at least about half the size of your baby finger and some washers. You will need to seperate the lower tray and position the pump where you want it. Sitting the pack awkwardly on my knee, I then guesstimated where the pump was from the back and drilled small pin holes with a pin vice through the tray and into the pump. I then screwed the wood screws in from the back using the washers, into the pump. I attached the four screws two in the top, two in the bottom, completing one hole at a time (attaching screw) then pin drilling the next one etc. J

Cool, the armor looks really good!

Very cool! It is good to see a Sandtrooper fan flic in the making. J

Thanks Rolf!

Thanks Dutchy. Here are some new pictures with my finished backpack:

Most of us know the length of the PVC pipe used in ANH but not the width or the correct coupler attachment. This company: http://www.oasisngv.com/couplings in New Zealand will sell you one or two of the couplers but I am not sure what is the correct size to order? Could this attachment pass cannon scrutiny? You have to e-mail Andrew Cutfield andrew@oasisengineering.co.nz and tell him your currency and the exact product with size (cut and paste the picture). Maybe we can get someone here to do a mold of the piece if someone can figure out the correct size? It looks like they have 3/8, 3/4 & 1 1/2 available. I think maybe the dewback pole was 3/4'' or 1'' thick? Looks like they don't offer 1'', but how did the coupler fit on to the end of the pole? ? Maybe it was a 1 1/2'' coupler slid over a 1'' pole? Kent building supplies has grey 10 foot electrical PVC pipe in these sizes. Any thoughts from the prop maker pro's on how to approach this? J

No prob at all Rocko. I would love to get my hands on a accurate filter. I am almost finished my back pack upgrade (waiting a day for bondo to fully cure) with Charlie's parts. His parts look so accurate, my filter really sticks out

Here are a few I have fave'd, I hope they help someone: http://www.strapworks.com/ http://crimsonnova.com/clonetrooper.htm http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s58/kwd...rmor/?start=all http://forum.clonetroopers.net/index.php?s...2&hl=tk1389 http://www.echobaserebels.com/reference/xw...tume/straps.php http://www.spatcave.com/mojarm.htm http://www.scifimilitary.com/forum/index.php http://www.colonialmarines.net/index2.html http://www.elvistrooper.com/atat.htm http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/index.cfm http://www.imperialarmor.net/index.html http://www.imperialsurplus.com/helmets.html http://web.mac.com/mikeharrison/mh_backpac...ions/page1.html http://www.looksirdroids.com/backpacks.html http://www.501stlegion.org/resources.php http://www.cushmanpaintball.com/T21page.html http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/forums/ http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/index.php http://members.cox.net/appstronaut/tk4510_decals.html

Very well done Phil! Jason

You missunderstand, what I was saying is that the home made version I built from scratch is not very good. I wasn't referring to the origional?

I would like to find an accurate filter as well, I had to make my own crapy version for the backpack.
