If you decide to buy it, I’m interested in your UP80, please let me know!
And if you don’t buy it, please let me buy it!

Backpack frame is the correct one but if your going for Uber accurate you’ll need red straps, at least for the “Move along” Trooper...

Beautiful and definitely uber rare!
Again, congratulations on this purchase, couldn’t have found a better home, Thomas!
(On the other hand I’m green in envy!).

I was going to post the same! IMHO the most accurate and available option for trays atm and Ross is a great guy to deal with!

I’m pretty sure the original vintage canteens “Gio Style” are definitely what they used on the original packs.
i really can’t imagine the prop department taking off the texture as it would take far too much time and they were really in a hurry just before travelling to Tunisia!

Maybe try a strip of aluminium, a lot easier to bend to shape imho!

What the ****, Thomas?!? I’ve been hunting the Tabby for ages now...
There was a eBay auction only a few years ago and it sold under $50 iirc, I was down in frustration for weeks back then...
Congratulations, what a great find, bro!
Can’t wait to see these beauties assembled by the master!

Gorgeous! Stunning paint job, Thomas!
Now, when can i send you mine?

Bemause this is such invaluable information, I will put this in the drop down menu shortly, so that it can be found a little easier.
Jupp, good idea, Damon!

I just said the same over at the RPF board, I always thrilled to see what 3D modelling can do nowadays!
Buuuut... since I’m from the older days... get it printed, I need to see a real life piece!

Juan, i Love to see the good old bunch back here again!
Man, time flies, huh? Welcome back, bro!
-
Alex! Good to have you back here, mate!
Keep us posted on your progress!
-
You’re more than welcome, bro!

Hey Mark and welcome to the sand pit!
Have a look here:
Btw. Vincent is a great guy and a pleasure to deal with.
If he can’t supply you those canteens get back to me. I also have some left in my basement but I am a really bad salesman, shipping takes ages with me as I don’t make it to the post office normally...

Up90 with fins for me, please! PM sent!
-
Not that I’m aware of!
My guess would be some electrical stuff housing or box plus some added greeblies on top...
-
It was the only thing around with the correct size...
-
Anyway, keep searching! I really hope you’re more successful than I was!
Can’t beat the feeling of finding an actual used item!

While I don’t think this is what was used on screen I’m with you thinking it might have come from electrical parts.
As far as we know the prop department used parts for all kinda bits and pieces for prop detailing taken from a large lot coming mostly from plumber, electrical and camera parts.
I also did some research on this part with no real conclusion but my bet is on big sized fuses like this one, just as an example...
But that is just my guess, don’t blame me for it if you’re on the right track!
-
Geez, that is cool! I’m not that much for 3D printed stuff but that’s clearly gorgeous work!
Well done, John, well done!
-
Waaayyyy better! Great update, Urs!
I’m personally am no big fan of the major paint chips but more of the subtle scratches and dimples but that’s just my personal flavor! Beside my personal taste on this behalf the Blaster looks really great!

Sorry for the confusion, the ones shown on my picture are definitely both newer style canteens!
None of these could be screenaccurate as they weren’t even produced at the times filming.
I have the old Italian canteen on my backpack. This is a picture of what I THINK might be accurate as it was produced in the mid seventies and I doubt there were other manufacturers at this time.
And this is the vintage canteen before painting...
But that is just my two cents of course I can’t be sure as we don’t have any real evidence!

I would try to do what you suggest but definitely start on the right shoulder as this side will be covered by the pauldron anyway...
Otherwise before doing that you should try to contact the maker of your armor first, maybe he can offer you a chest/backplate solo or even better.with shoulder bells, that way you could also build a bust to display your helmet...
Colordifferences shouldn’t be a problem, it will be hidden by the weathering!

That sounded like a joke but I really mean it, bro!
