I’ve lowered the exhaust. The upper mounting lugs wont line up with the middle rib of the seed tray.... can I trim them off? please advise where you want this mounted?

Is the height of the lab pipe okay?

How thick should the tape on tool box be?

Ok bud, thank you. I’m happy to do the modifications you mentioned but when I thought I was going to have to rip my seed trays apart etc it was going to be too much as I’d probably need to replace the trays. I’ll get on the other mods you mentioned

It’s just frustrating when different components are critiqued along the way. If all the pointers were given at the same time then I wouldn’t have built things a certain way. Now after building the pack I’m being told that the front of the lower tray needs to have “slipped down” and have a gap. This is the first time this detail has been mentioned and I’ve glued my seed trays together and they aren’t coming apart. Also my shells are in a custom made holder that won’t accommodate them being wonky so I guess the journey ends here for me

I was under the impression that the Cantina scene was shot in tunisia, however due to the fact that we can’t see it, how do we assume at what stage in production that tape was added? If we dont see it on screen then I’d argue that both with and without tape are acceptable since no one could competently price otherwise....

To be fair, there are also scenes where the seedtray hasn’t been taped up, so given that we can’t tell from the Cantina scene, surely we can assume that it was filmed early in production before any repairs (in Tunisia)

So to clarify, for Cantina Captain, are we basing our builds on this pack worn by Alley Check?

Hi buddy. Can you explain a bit more please? Does it need to move up or down?

I love this pic of Move Along with his pristine pack, no tape anywhere must've been early in shooting!

Fair enough buddy, I’ll add the tape if I could just clarify another point... pack #3... “Move along” clearly has no lab pipe and very crooked shells... “Alley check” clearly has a lab pipe and much straighter shells... The fact that we can see a lab pipe on Cantina Captain, I think it is fair to assume he’s wearing the Alley Check pack? If so, should my shells be more aligned than Move along? Also alley check has the crooked bottle cap and mortar tube cap so that would tend to suggest that this is definitely the CC pack? Thanks again

I have been watching and re-watching the Cantina scene.... I can’t see tape on the tool box... I know that move along and alley check have taped toolbox but I always thought Cantina Captain had a clean toolbox?

Bigwam the two screengrabs you used, I think the first one is move along and the second is alley check? Are they the same pack? I thought they were different. Do you have any good screen grabs of Cantina Captain? I thought the shells were straight on his pack... thanks again

Hey buddy. Thanks for the quick reply. Question The tape cross on the tool box.... is the vertical piece of tape straight up and down 12>6? I see some packs have this piece of tape at an angle. Mortar tube - I’ll re paint. Shells - I’ll re position them Mortar tube lid and bottle lid - I’ll re position them Lab pipe - I’ll reposition it Glue stain - I’ll add this

Okay so here is my scratch build pack, 90% complete. I still need to dye the straps and weather it. Let me know what you think!

My pack is coming together, almost complete. I have a couple of questions as I can’t tell from screengrabs... Cantina Captain Should the tool box have the crossed tape on it? Shoukd the lower seed tray have black tape around it? Thanks

Tosche Traders capacitors

Some progress pics... Test fit of the new components prior to painting NEW Karrimor frame NEW RWD seed trays NEW Radio NEW Shires Up 100 Syphon NEW Mushroom caps and bottles NEW Canteen and bracket NEW Exhaust NEW Brexton tool box (well, it would’ve been new in the 70’s!) NEW mortar tube, TD panel and end caps NEW lab pipe

I can’t have the bottom tray sitting in any further.... the syphon already fouls the bottom bar of the Karrimor. If I set this back further then the syphon won’t sit right at all

Do you mean on the “back” side of the frame?

Thanks. Question... should my frame have a pronounced bend in it? Mine is standard Karrimor so is more of a natural curve

Started work on my scratch pack build stripped the Karrimor frame, removed the bottom bar and fitted the seed tray straps Both trays fitted Top bar relocated just above top tray Excess top section chopped off Radio and tool box fitted Bracket made for canteen Bracket fitted

A Garrison mate had a spare one that I bought

Got most of the parts now... waiting to receive my mushroom caps, bottles, mortar tube end caps, TD panel and capacitors, then the scratch build begins

Got my Karrimor and stripped it down straps will be dyed black and reattached once I've shortened the frame and painted it
