I recently acquired a very nice T-21, but it needs the sling or strap (not sure what exactly to call it). Does anyone know where I can find a good one?

Good. I have been using Gray on about 12 of my last packs. Just tried the blue on 2 packs and I am not a huge fan. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Great. Thank you. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Where can I find a good thread and/or information on all of the components of a good SWAT Level pack? Looking for things like what are the dimensions of the frame, the exact sizing of the exhaust box and tube, etc... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone started working on the armor for this yet?

I am almost done with the pack. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Should be 5 to 7 lbs. Finishing up other packs people have ordered before I get back to this one. I also love the R1 TK armor. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Man. Love all of these shots. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

As many of you may already know, Walt (Walt's Trooper Factory) is going to be auctioning off a full Sandtrooper Ensemble. This includes a pack. Crookknight's Imperial Trooper Packs will be donating a pack to this great cause. I will also be building my very own pack at the same time. I am doing this thread so newcomer's can see one way the packs are built (as there are many) with today's technology. I will be using parts from different vendors for this build (I will mention them shortly) and also 3D printed parts. On this top post, I will be adding the progress picture of the pack, once I have the frame completed. I will also be updating the below list with where I am getting parts and materials from. Frame: CPVC frame (unless my karrimor frame arrives in time) Radio: Donated by Ian Havenhand of Sandie Comms Cistern: Accurate version (will let you know exactly where I am getting it from) Upper Left Tool Box: Original Brexton Sandwich Box Upper Middle Detail: 3D printed Plunger Top / properly dimensioned wipes bottle Upper Right Detail: 3D printed Exhast Box and Pipe Upper Right Side Detail: (5) Capacitors made from PVC Right Side Detail: Black ABS 2 inch pipe with 3D printed end caps and mortar control panel (aka Thermal Detonator Plate) Seed Trays: Jason Hill Left Side Detail: PVC Pipes ......

If needed when I do my next build I can post a build thread. If the photos cannot be added back to this one. I am finishing up 2 packs now but I have two more to do here shortly. It would probably be a couple of weeks from now. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Thank you. It is not a problem for me to change my pack as most of those pieces are 3D designed and printed Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Love the photos Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I can easily make those white. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Just so I make sure I get the pack right. Below are the pictures I took wearing the pack. Please review and let me know if I need to change anything. Keep in mind I consider this a level 1 pack made with a base that people can get. The level 2 is going to have a vacformed base for 100% accuracy. And yes.....I know.....the armor is not correct....

Here is my progress. Time for Final Paint and assembly. I will also post the frame I am going to use. It will be made out of 3/4" CPVC.

I have cisterns that I can sell to you. We also have all of the other parts for the packs if you need anything else. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Not a bad looking pack at all. However some of the components do not meet the mepd standards. A new pack that meets the minimum requirements can cost anywhere from $350 - $500 period kits range from $250 on up. You could try to take out the parts that do not meet the requirements and just replace those. That would probably be cheaper. But I would have to see the pack off and up look closer from all angles.

Based on the research I did for the pack, I would say ribbed shoulder straps and buttons are painted per ROTJ requirements. Here are some additional photos that I used when researching.

Want to sell it? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

With some simple changes I could make mine ROTJ. I already have the pack, pauldron and weathering. I am getting the helmet this week. It would be temporary until I get official ROTJ armor. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Dude, That is why I said I was told. I have not seen it either. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
