Luke The only concept artwork of the sandtroopers that I have are these Alex Tavoularis story board art work of a trooper looks like it may of had bandoliers Ralph McQuarrie art work Alex Tavoularis story boards Hope this helps

:o WOW!!! :o How good does that look I'm laughing at myself, because we're all getting so excited over this, its just like we're little kids and I don't care, because its so flipping BRILLIANT

Mike I think the font they used was of the 'Eurostile' family of fonts, possibly 'Extended #2' see what you think Not too sure what they used for the dial numbers but I'll take a look at some of the font sites to see if I can come up with anything

As Jason said you can use the rough measurements of the Boy Scout pack frame along with Mikes and maybe the length between Lewis Collins wrist and elbow

Mike I remember using this font with the old 'Letraset' sheets, but I can't for the life of me remember what the bloody thing was called

Here's another one to throw into the mix, possible 'D' ring on the side of the case I thought this was part of the strap at first but on Rocko's photo its still there

I still can't believe we've found it I noticed a few more new things that we can add to our packs until someone manages to find the 'real deal' And I know this seems secondary to such a fantastic achievement, but.... Jason (TK-J) I hope you get the prize that you so magnificently deserve

Jason You are DEEE MAN! :o History will forever shout your name as the man who lead us to one of the biggest discoveries that as eluded some many, for so long. Thank you Sir!

Yerrh, I agree it does look like its a white or silver design on green background and the more I look at it that does look like 447 I was thinking that the logo could be an oval globe with a name throgh the center a bit like a squashed version of the Pan Am logo

Rolf Congrates mate for hitting your 3000th post, well done Sir!! Getting back to the radio, I know we still have to identify the maker / brand but we do have a couple of new details that we can add to our packs to get them nearer to the real thing that we didn't have before this fantastic new discovery

Jason and Luke Brilliant work!!!, you's guys have nailed it Now we need to find out who made the little buggar Well done guys, we're a step closer solving the mystery

Nathan If you still need the cistern / siphon let me know and I'll sort one out for you from the UK

Jason Any chance you can get a screen grab of it, it could help in tracking it down and maybe a few more of Diana Rigg in a leather cat suit would help as well Hubba-Hubba Sorry, just notice you said '77, that would be Dame Joanna in a designer boiler suit

This is surely a thing of beauty and I can't wait to see it Rolf, Rocko, Fletcher All we have to do now is set up an 'imitation arms' smuggling syndicate to Europe and we can get our grubby little hands on this master piece...MMMWAHH-HAHH-HAHH!

Nathan Nice one mate How 'bout your burger stackers, have you got them sorted as well?

Pappy Yerrp, Got to agree with the 2 Mikes, Goro's life-size Dewback was and is the ultimate sandtrooper prop. That thing is just unbelievable :o The Australian Garrison boys have made the Cantina, its in a post on here some where. How 'bout some Moisture Farmers Sorry, I couldn't help it

emmm, thats a toughy Instinct would be to ban him because you can, but if he's attitude on "Fett Freaks" is the same as any other member then that makes it a lot harder to justify why you want to do it. If he steps out of line then you could fry his backside with no come backs. If he is giving you greif , slagging you off and being a 'A**HOLE' on "Jango Junkies" then the Mods should jump in and have a word with him and tell him to cut it out or he's toast. Its a toughy mate, if you ban him it may bring a big fat cheesy grin to your face but he will no doubt slag you off even more on the other site for doing it. This could all get very messy if you're not careful,....deep breath,....and count to ten

Art You can see it even clearer if you turn it in a negative I think they must of taken the piece off because it may have interfered with filming the scenes. Its possible that the piece that was there some how balanced up the look with the radar dish at the bottom, maybe an aerial of some sort? Be great to find out what it was

.....He ain't no Man,....him be a.... WIZARD!!!!

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

Pappy I think you're 100% right about my question about pack #4, its the E11 of the trooper following up behind I must get some new glasses 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?

Pappy That looks like the top of the pack frame to me mate The other thing I noticed about pack #4 was that it seems to have some loose part hanging off on the right side edge, near the top of the burger stackers. I can't seem to match it up to other parts shown on the other packs, any ideas?

Pete, Brilliant mate Now you've got me thinking of the other creatures that may well be on this ride Great work mate

....Meanwhile, in a Galaxy far, far away.... Merry Christmas everybody and hope that you all have a fantastic New Year

OK, now I know this is 'Off Topic' but I just noticed Rolf's and Braks posts together and check this out :o How bloody GOOD do they look?!!!! Two brilliant troopers and two fantastic guys Nuff said
