BOOOO!!!, HISSSSS!!!!

What d'ya think you're doing coming over here showing off with your fantastic blaster and

your unbelievable TM armour, go on get back over to the 'shiney-whiteys' <_<

Pablo

Without doubt one of the best set ups I've ever seen mate

......now how cool would it look all nice and dirty....

[TE Fibreglass 'Set For Stun']

Please, please, tell me how you managed to secure your rubber brow piece on to the bucket itself?

It appears that you removed the ears and replaced them with "formed" ear pieces?

Thanks bro!

T

Tony

Its called 'trompe l'oeil' or for all us non French speakers out there '....to deceive the eye' .

If I remember rightly they're painted or pencil marked lines where the ears meet the helmet

cool or what?

Scott

I loved this fantastic helmet the first time you showed it, and I think I love it even more

now that I've seen it again.

It's a beautiful piece and you are one lucky sod for having it in your great collection

Thanks for showing it again

[Backpack Frame]

The ALICE packs are based on the lightweight tropical rucksack there were issued durng the Vietnam war, so maybe that is what you should be looking for?

Paul,

I don't think they would have used the Vietnam lightweight rucksack, too much work to get it to look like

the ones on screen

The scout pack looks the nearest out of all the vitage ones that I've looked at.

Most of the Hiking, camping, climbing, skiing, and military ones with an external

frame just don't seem to have the same characteristics.

We'll just have to keep looking

[A big thank you Billy !!!]

Ray

You are more than welcome mate. Glad you and the little man liked it

We have to look after the next generation of troopers like little Merlin and Sylvester 'coz these

will be the guys who will hopefully carry on our legacy.

Band of Brothers, mate , no compromise, no exceptions

Loving his new threds, he's going to be one COOL little dude

[Make the Partridges round syphon more GROOOOVY]

OK, here's another little trick

After studying the pictures of the original syphon and then looking at the Partridges

it kept on bugging me about the taper at the bottom of the upright tube where it meets

the dome of the round canister.So I thought I'd have a play around with it

Here you can see the difference compared to the UK syphon that we normally use

with the burger stackers.

So, after spotting this in the supermarket I just had to see if I could get it to work

Cut down and sanded

And finally held in postion

Comparison shot

We must be the only people in the World who study a toilet syphon in this

much detail

What are we Like.......

Thanks Rocko. I was feeling toasty from the flames... I am an individual, with 50% objective interpretation by Daetrin, and no other. As you can see, the gang has jumped me.

Perhaps Mike can start a new thread and say he is making replicas of my prototypes that he had for a brief period, and which I have re-claimed, and I start a new thread on the Value Radio Kit I will offer soon.

Sound fair?

I would like to hear from Rolf on this. He is an objective guy... I know it puts him in a spot, but he needs to review all of this.

Regards Rocko,

John

John

Rolf's wife Sara is expecting the birth of their little boy virtually any minute now

so it may be some time before he's back on the boards mate.

Just thought I'd let you know

[What kind of helmet is this?]

Joe

I think that was the one up for grabs from France on ebay.

I would say CAP looking at the face plate.

Nice lid

Hope this helps

[Make the Partridges round syphon more GROOOOVY]

Shucks, I'm getting all embarrassed now

Thanks guys

The good thing about this little trick is that you're not limited to just using it on the Partridge round syphon.

You can use it with a normall syphon and instead of hunting down the burger stackers you only have to find

a nice round container roughly the same size and just add the lid rims and bobs ya uncle, fanny's ya aunt

jobs done.

For all the guys in the UK, the Marks & Spencers Flap jacks, Mini-rolls containers are purfect for this

and it gives you a brilliant excuse for eating the yummy contents

[MH/SB/Charlie back pack build.]

I've got you covered bro. look no further

OK, move along.....move along

[Make the Partridges round syphon more GROOOOVY]

I think most people have seen madphisto.net 's post showing the Partridges round syphon,

if not here it is;-

Syphon again, forget about Hamburger Stackers

Well, I thought I'd have a little play with it whilst getting it ready for my backpack and see

if I could add that 'Burger Stacker' look to it.

After having a good ol' ponder over how I would do it, I finally came up with a really easy and simple

neat little trick for it.

So, see what you think, even if you don't use it I hope it gives yous a few ideas of possible other

ways to go with it

I basically got hold of some lids from some sweet / cake containers (candy in the US )

and trimmed the lip off of them.

Then all you need to do is just stick them on

(I've used Blu-tack to mock them up in the photos)

And that's it, nice and simple, but does the trick

[Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee's here !!]

Ray

MERLIN!!!....he's simply

Congratulations mate on the birth of your beautiful little boy

[New MH/SB/Charlie back pack build coming up.]

Rolf

No matter what you do this is going to be another awsome pack build, yours always

bloody are

My personal opinon is that they painted or sprayed the radios black. I know that we

haven't got 100% clear photos to work off but most of the ones we have got seem

to indicate that the face plate seemed to be all one colour.I think that some of the all

black tuner dails seems to back this up as well.

I know the packs were very slap-dash and seemed to be thown together but I don't

think they would have left the radio as is so that everybody could see that it was a

cheap Japanese transistor radio when they were trying to portray technology from

a galaxy far, far away

Rolf, I don't envy you mate, Mike as made one the most amazing reproduction props

that I have ever seen , and I feel the same as you "How can I spoil something

that is just so perfect" . But, you may have to bite the bullet and weather this

magnificent piece in your pursuit of perfection and screen accuracy.

It a toughy mate

[Sonix Victory 75 Reproductions]

Mike

Unbelievable work there Sir!, I want to reach over and switch one on

I'd love one of these master pieces, but I'd probably have to get 2 so that

I didn't feel so bad dirtying one up

They're absolutely brilliant mate

[First step on the journey...]

Careful lads he's Scottish <_<

and as well as being known for their Celtic fighting spirit , those guys think nothing

of going totally butt naked under their Pauldrons

Aaron

Welcome to the Brotherhood mate, you're gunna love it here and you'll fit right in

Band of brothers in full affect

[MEPD brotherhood.]

Rolf

[Finally put in for clearance..Yey!]

Nathan

[MEPD brotherhood.]

Justus, no matter where you are,.....you do love those weeners mate

Rolf,

Hope the 4 of yous (5 with the BUMP ) have a fantastic time mate in your wonderful City

[New work.]

Rolf

Congratulations on the new job mate, your new bosses don't know just how lucky they are

landing a guy like you.

[Syphon again]

Phil

These are quite nice mate, not 100% accurate but if you use them you can get

away from using the burger stackers.

With a little bit of tweaking you could make them look pretty darn fine
