Octoarm

Perfect!

Sharing how I attached my shoulder ammo pouch to my backpack strap. I stitched a couple strips of Velcro strapping (soft side out once folded) in the spots where the ammo pouch straps rest. Then just fold them over to Velcro them down. Happy Thursday TD’s!

Thanks @bigwam !

Thank you @Hausi !

Played around with one of my photos while I wait on basic approval.

Waiting for basic 501st approval on my Sandtrooper Captain! I wanted to share what the backpack finally looks like with my armor.

I prefer the more natural look also. I’m using fullers earth, sand paper and aqua net sealer. I don’t want to look like I crawled out of the sewer, lol. Weathering is definitely tricky. Very easy to over do. I’m using a 220 grit sanding sponge to pull back my weathering.

Finished up my helmet and replaced my old canteen with the Lionstar. I’m looking forward to finishing up my armor so I can where this pack!

You could very well be right! Maybe something to change in the future. Good luck with your build!

I managed to acquire a Lion Star Hunter 600 canteen through eBay. Seems like even these are becoming harder to come by. It’s interesting seeing the differences between this and the different GIOStyle canteen that I originally found.

More accurate bottles, phew! I also cut an inch off the bottom of my mortar tube. I think I’m done now, lol.

Yes, it’s much easier to see the little things now that it’s put together. Thanks again @bigwam

So I decided to flatten the bottoms of my bottles. I think it worked! I am using 2 Nalgene bottles the are the perfect width but the bottoms are a little too curved. So I cut the bottoms off and glued a piece of styrene to the bottom. It’s raining out so I can’t finish painting them yet. I still need to fill a few minor gaps and then do some finish sanding. I can’t wait to see what they will look like on! Im so glad I went with the zip tie method so that I’m able to open up my seed trays to do these kind of adjustments.

Thank you @Motogpnut Very nice of you to say! Much appreciated
