Woooooo! Way to go everyone! Great job to all involved

I know I already posted it, but damn thats a nice radio. Its staring at me until I finally get some time to work on this pack!

Access granted!

Nice!! Any print issues? I still have never printed one. I probably should haha

Looking awesome! Watching with great interest. Quick question, is that 3D printed siphon the one off of thingiverse? Just curious. I have been waiting to see one printed in the wild!

Here is a new project I am working on for this. So far I am just drawing out the schematics to the exact scale of the real radio. Still need a lot of work and refinement, especially in the details. Not quite there yet, but this is just a WIP. After this, I will model it and get it up on Thingiverse for anyone to 3D print an accurate sized radio replica.

Looking great man! Keep it up! So excited to see this completed

Added parts from Stromtrooperguy!

I will Pin this topic. We can send out an alert though the FB page too.

All set!

@Asher There are a few different models that use the same or similar frame. Karrimor Annapurna is one of them. I think some of the Tote'em frames use the correct style, but the ones I have purchased all have the squared bottom section.

Here is how I modded my old syphon. Still need to remove the fin on the left hand side. And add one on the front left tube.

Off to a great start! I would say try to find a shires syphon if you can, but obviously thats super hard to find and not required for SWAT yet. But I would say compare your syphon to a shires and try to emulate its details as best you can by adding or removing details. Everything else looks great!

Yup! Ill be 3d printing a mount.

It seems back to normal for me as well.....for now.

Great work! Time to add this to my list of blasters to build! You did awesome.

This is so awesome. I can't wait to see this come together. I'm glad you also noticed the large Ab details on Jim's kit. Its a great kit, but that detail has bugged me since it came out.

Sure! I’ll grab a bunch next time I go there

If you want I can swing by my surplus store and grab some more if you’d like!

Found these at my electronic surplus store, $0.75 a piece. They are about the right size and I think they will work for the capacitors.

I actually have the correct frame as well! I bought this frame for those back straps actually haha. Found it on eBay for pretty cheap. Going to use this other frame for a second pack that’s for trooping.

I found a few options on Amazon, they are clear tubes but would work fine if painted. OD is about 2.5" This is the cheaper one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030A057A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1DR7HYJVQI5BJ&psc=1 Here is a more durable but more expensive one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OMJ5D2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Awesome Thanks dude!

US would be better. Are they accurate?
