The kind of pipes is for making a T-21 gun so that might help you a bit. The sizes I wrote in the first post is what I need to have. These ones: 1.25" 2.5" 3" 3,5" 4" 5" You just saved my day .

Since USA and Canada mostley uses inches it´s sometimes hard to find out the size in cm or mm. But lucky us we have google etc. Now to my problem: I have a pipe that is 1/2" = 1.27cm but when I measure it it´s 1.6 cm inner and 2.15 cm outer measurement. What am I thinking wrong here? Or did Google give me wrong measurement? So anyone that can measure pipes and give the measurement (outside ones)in millimeter I would be very happy since it will be help me and maybe others alot. 1.25" = 2.5" = 3" = 3,5" = 4" = 5" =

Nice pictures and looks like it was a super great troop.

Thanks for your input . I agree that making some parts in different black makes it look more like different materials. But I guess it all depends also on how much dirt you add .

Yes that´s true. Well now I don´t have to worrie to much that I might have "wrong" black on some parts. And also since it´s going to be a bit dirty... .

Looks like at least two is using different black .

On the backpack, what black colors are you using and on what parts? I noticed that many have different on different packs. Usully the seedtray is glossy black and very often the radio is matte black or satin black. So can anyone tell the right way to have different parts in correct black color. Only what blue color to use was pinned so maybe this is up to the owner to choose what black color to use or?

Thank you. Always nice to hear when a good job has been done .

Thanks, and yes it need some dirt

1. Any kind of hairspray? 2. Grout? I translated the word and I think I found what it is used for. I will have a look if I can get my hands on some. Thanks for your weathering help.

Thank you very much . And no it don´t work. I could have made it like a real radio with parts from the one I had but I am going to put an ampifier and a mp3 player in it instead.

After a few months (almost a year) it´s starting to be done. Now I need some feedback while I still have some chance to make changes. The paint job might be changed depending on the weathering. I hope the weathering will make it look more used with this painting (maybe I am wrong?). I welcome all weathering tips . The radio is all scratch built with plastic and wood. Some parts is taken from a real radio. Not the best taken picture but thanks for looking .

Haha sounds good. Well I think trying to fix all in the helmet might be best for me and if it´s not possible I try get in as much as possible. On your pictures it looks like you have 2 small fans? Right now I am only using one big one. Maybe I need to rethink the fan size also.

Thanks for the pics, they will help alot. I will look more into this or maybe have something like it. Depends on the batteries (might change the ones I have). This way I will not have any more problem with wires but how about the helmet weight? looks like it´s kinda heavy.

I am looking forward to see some pictures . Would also be nice to know what kind of batteries you are using and how long you can troop on them. Thanks.

Well actually my head is kinda small but for some reason I have alot....ALOT of batteries for my rom/fx and fan (16 of them) so either I have them outside of the helmet or I need to change batteries. But I want the batteries to last long time and also what I read somewhere that rom/fx is better to run on 12V. I might redo the speaker and put it inside the ammopouch. But I will need to fix something else with the fan. Thanks for your ideas.

Thanks for your suggestion. Will think about that.

Hi, I have batteries and Rom/FX in my ammo pouch that´s on my shoulder and that works good. In my helmet I have a fan and 2 stomper speakers. My problem I keep having is the wiring from the ammo pouch to the helmet. Does anyone have a good solution what I can use, so when I need to take of the helmet and unplugg it myself and put down the helmet somewhere. Also I don´t want the cables to be very thick and I can say that moving batteries to the helmet is not an option (also the rom/fx) since my AP helmet is small even without those things in it. I guess whireless microphone will need batteries in the helmet and since my fan need power I still going to need a cable. Therefore I rather have cable for all. I most want help with finding out how to best connect and what type of connectors to use. Also if someone knows a good cable that can have both sound and power. The ones I use now to connect is 3,5mm speaker connectors and I need 6 of them as it is right now. It takes alot of space and is hard to connect and unplugg myself. Any one with some ideas for me?

Ok, here is my shotgun shells I made. I tried to make them like one of the packs used in SW. (think it´s the captains pack since he had orange pauldron). Make new ones or can I use them? In the bottom I used some thin plastic and then used hotglue inside and let it dry, then painted black (and it´s not 100% done yes if you still find some white spots). And here is the one I used as a guide:

First: Woow Second: Why don´t I live next door to you Third: Woow...again

I think you have done a great job so far with the radio. Will be awesome when buttons and decals are in place. :)

Hi, this might help: http://tk3936.imperial-web.com/

Your phone don´t suck, it´s good enought pictures. Thank you for this

This helps alot. With your measurement it will be super great since I need to know how wide it is the box and also how thick the hoose is. Even if yours isn´t super accurate, it will be good enought

Thanks
