Thanks for the quick response!
Is it ok to use a matte or flat black paint, and is there a preference?
-
Picked up some 2” pipe; cut to 28” and started on the frame...
Sanded everything flush...
Glued and riveted the joints...
Cut some metal strapping and riveted to frame to mount my “seed trays” to. I also allowed approximately 4” between them for the red canvas “lumbar” supports, which I’ll work on tomorrow...
Results so far...
Still have to trim the edges of my trays; are the corners squared, or rounded?

Ok...to begin with this is the “kit” from Crook Knight of Pack #3. Let’s open her up and see what’s what
Quick inventory...
PVC pipe and joints for frame; abs strips for the braces...
Backpack straps...
Seed trays; very strong and look to be vaccu-formed...
Brexton box and lid...
Exhaust port: nice 3D print...
Shires siphon: I must say that this is quite impressive, it looks to be cast, but the quality of this piece is awesome. The “mushroom” cap appears also to be vaccu-formed of good quality plastic...
Top, center bottle and cap...
Mortar tube end-caps and radar dish; looks to be a nice 3D print. Thermal detonator and “lab” pipe...
Canteen; again a very good quality 3D print. Also comes with the “Stinger”...
Radio: resin cast front also comes with all the switch greebles and stickers, although looking at the cast, I might try and fill in the casted letters. Also if anyone has information on functional slide switches, please let me know. I am really wanting to make this a “working” radio.
I’ll need to go out and pick up some 2” pipe for the mortar tube as well as some zip ties to go around the siphon. I also plan on fabricating the red lumbar supports as well.
I am more than likely going to “over-build” this thing like I did my ATA kit (read mil-spec) since I troop...a lot...and any and all advice will be much appreciated!

So...another Big Brown Box has arrived and brought up to my barracks room!

Thank you for the quick reply!
Is it only on the “lower” part of the pack frame, and not the “upper” part?

Hello,
Question that is driving me crazy, and if I missed it on the forum my apologies. On the “Move along” or #3 pack, is the red canvas fabric present for the back and lower lumber support? I’m about to put together one of Crook Knights field packs and was curious.

Make-a-Wish Foundation
Got to participate in making a wish come true for Dominic, a five year old who just recently became blind due to a brain tumor, who, today became a full fledged Jedi, with help from Rey, and other fellow Jedi! He even was able to “Force-influence” some hapless Sandtrooper that “these aren’t the Jedi we’re looking for: Move along, move along...”
His laughter was moving and I’m glad I’m behind a mask...
On a brighter note: I’ve heard the ladies can’t resist us sandies
Kylo better watch out!

Of all the "dirty" troopers, Sandtroopers always look the most badass. Great pics.
Thank you sir!
I think that puts me at 26 troops?

Best part of the day was presenting Santa, who was helicoptered in, with our Imperial Sands Garrison coin; his Elves said that’s all he talked about for the rest of the day!

Once I weather it to match my armor it should knock down the “glossy” look of the grey.
