Sounds like an interesting alternative material. Would you just apply water to where you want it to stick , sprinkle it on then seal it after it dries? Great palette of colors to mix from if this can be used. Thanks for posting this. Hopefully some veteran members can share their thoughts on this.

Thanks Dave and Jason for commenting. Agreed, it is way too long and will probably be difficult to fit into some cars. I mainly travel to troops by train so I needed something that can reduce holding more than one bag or case.plus my home has limited space so a free standing tall case works better for me.
I will report back when I get into action and say if it was a wise purchase or not. Cheers!

I just bought a nice huge case to fit all my trooping gear. Thought it might be helpful for anyone looking to buy something that can fit a TD costume and pack in. Its quite roomy inside . I have not tried fitting a pack inside yet but palm to once my pack gets completed.
You can check the case dimensions and see if your packs can fit inside.
Here is the link to my original post on the FISD.

I posted a thread a while back with some photos I found online and of frames i bought. Here is the link

Sorry I didn't put measurements , just reference photos. Hope it helps.

Outstanding! All this T-21 stuff is edging me on to have a go at building one. Thanks for doing this!
-
Received my stickers! Thanks for doing this run Dutchy! . Look great, almost too nice to peel and use!
-
Very cool!
-
Agreed. Hope that can be added! FISD site has it.

I have tried to contact the author of the book and got a response from the publisher. They said they can pass on any message but not 100% a reply would come. Definitely think this is a great way to get some more insight on the packs and hopefully get in touch with one of the actual prop makers from ANH who worked on them.

Not sure if I am missing it somewhere but were you able to take measurements of the main cooling tube diameter and the front tapered tube diameter?
Would there ever be a chance to have that Lewis gun digitally scanned?

01428 608164
This is the number listed on the BrokenBog website. I called him directly from NY last summer. Email always was hit and miss to get in touch with him. Once I spoke with him on the phone, he was quicker to respond to future emails. Hope this helps.
-
So, has anyone contacted him and had luck?
Should I try to or just give him a break from crazy SW fans looking for old toilet parts?
I am really interested in getting a vintage one. A real one.
Thx for any advice.
Saludos
Definitely contact him. A phone call would be best as Sam would be able to give you a straight answer on the phone. Maybe some have surfaced at his warehouse since i posted this so its worth asking. He has a large collection of vintage stuff and I think he said the syphons were scattered in his stock so he is on the lookout for them.
Hope you can get one.

Hi Buddy,
Is probably not use illuminated switches in your kid for two reasons;
1. You're adding unnecessary current draw for no real benefit
2. They might be noticeable by the public
I'd also not bother with using 9v batteries. They don't really have the legs to keep it all going for long and that will cost you money in the long run.
Use 18650 lithium batteries. It's what I've changed over to and they will last a whole weekend without needing a charge.
I'm doing a fan install tutorial soon, so I'll post that up if it helps ?
Cool, thanks Lee for your advice. I just love illuminated stuff so was thinking to make it look high tech but you raise valid points for not doing so. I will try those lithium batteries. I heard some guy had lithium batteries almost burn someone's head because they exploded or something. Thought they might be more harm than help.
Love to see the fan instal tutorial. Any help with electronics is greatly appreciated.
And yes, Strider, you are correct in saying Lee deserves a medal for his innovations!

This is Awesome! Looks like a factory made piece. Might try this if I ever get my TD project finished. Thanks for sharing this Lee !
Quick question regarding illuminated switches. I wanted to add small illuminated switches to my fans running in my helmet off of 9v batteries. With the switch draw too much power to up illuminate it or make little difference. Anything I should be cautious of?

Rolf, welcome back and excited to see you assemble all those goodies!
By the way, how did you get a Doopy DLT-19 kit? I asked them a while back about one and they had planned to do them but then given up the idea. Is it a DLT kit recently bought? Would you be able to post a picture of the kit?
-
Want it! Awesome design.
-
My initial thought on this was how am I going to break into the Lucasfilm archives and steal a complete set of armor! But that might be the extreme side to ultimate accuracy beyond SWAT. Just joking of course!
It would be cool to see your idea take form. Back on the hunt for those vintage backpack parts!

Hi Dutchy, I use Paypal Japan and they don't offer pay as a gift/ family option. Can I just send the money as a regular payment or do I need to add more to cover the Paypal fee? Let me know how I should proceed. Thanks.
-
I asked Lewis from hyperfirm about getting one.
he said first he is focusing on the complete new DLT-19s with them added on and then will offer just the charging handles to those who wish to add it to their previously purchased DLTs. Mail him again and ask. He might be starting to cast these soon. I am waiting for one when he offers them.
Let me know what happens if you contact him soon.

Troopers helping troopers! Glad you old get your helmet back. Andy is a true friend for helping. Thanks for sharing your story . That helmet is a beauty!

My bad Michael. Actually Strider's post here on the MEPD has all the info anyway. Here is the link:
http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=13958#entry177527
The photo he posted has the measurements. Best of luck!
-
Michael, try reading through the link posted below. Strider posted another link in his post to longer story about a found radio and measurements. I am fanscinated by the radio and it rarity and love it when someone tries to replicate it. I really wish another one could b found and casted at one point but that just wishful thinking.
really looking forward to your 3D model and hope you nail all the details.keep posting updates when you can!

I too had a tough time finding an exact 4 inch lid but found that people selling the vintage pitchers had lids measured at 4 1/4 inches. I have one and it looks fine. Plus it fits well with the rubber sanding wheel backing I bought at the home center. If you are still interested in a vintage pitcher lid, just find as many of the 1 quart pitchers being sold on ebay and ask each seller to measure the lid size. I found two seller a week back that had them and was willing to sell just the lid. Takes a bit of time but you can certainly get one that is 4 1/4 inches.
Love the 3D model though. As Strider mentioned, a new radio faceplate with the measurements stated in the linked post would be a great project to work on. If I had the skills I would but I am useless with all this new 3D modeling.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
