My Fieldpack is pretty heavy and curious if I had one of these, if the weight would cause it to tip over??
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt holds mine, and it’s not exactly light...do you have the Krystal patrol pack?

What stand are you using to hold your Fieldpack??

It’s something I threw together...
I also make helmet stands too...

Don’t know if this has been posted before...anyway, I’m doing my pre-troop maintenance check (it’s a Navy 3M thing) and I discover these on my return edge of my chest plate!
Using my Leather hole punch I put a small hole at the end of the tear to keep it from spreading...
Then I sanded on the inside and cut an extra piece of ABS...
Cut and superglue in place...
Using the ABS Paste I made from my left over trimmings, I pack it around the reinforcement and fill the holes and tear seam on the visible part of the plate...
Once that dries I’ll hit the visible part with some fine grit sandpaper and call it a day!

How’s the weight with the aluminum braces?

Here is my set-up; I used a Mil-spec belt, it’s stiff so it stays in place...

I was able to get the RAL 7031 in flat from www.lvppaints.com.
Hope this helps.

Ok...got to troop this last weekend at Anime Conji 2019. Did two days 6+ hours each day and I can say it was pretty awesome! I feel...complete now LOL
Final thoughts...other than replacing the bottles with more screen accurate ones, the 3D printed radar dish with an actual Tupperware lid, repainting the gloss grey RAL 7031 with a flat RAL 7031 (sourced from www.lvppaints.com), and adding switches from Sonix World I would have to say I am very impressed with Crook Knights kit, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to any other fellow MEPD trooper looking to add the most essential of gear...The Backpack!
On a side note I’ve trimmed/thinned down my sniper plate to be more screen accurate and as soon as I weather my silicon hand plates on my rubber gloves I’ll be submitting for “Deployment”!
TD-15169 standing by for further instructions!

Looks good, nice work!
One suggestion: the red canvas looks too factory-fresh, use some black spraypaint and give it one or two passes.
Ok...was thinking of going over the canvas with an acrylic wash to dirty them up.

Ok...mounted completed radio to pack, and after adding some tape to “hold it together” here it is!
Crook Knight Pack #3
Really had fun with the build, and Shawn was super easy to deal with! Also shout out to Tony for the radio parts...Grazie!
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
