Strider Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Although they're no Sandtroopers by any means I still thought it would be fun to identify the parts they've used for the backpack. Below are the bckpack pictures I've taken at the celebration. So far I have identified the frame and the backpack used. The frame is a vintage Haglöfs swedish military rucksack and the lower part of the sack seems to be from a large US ALICE pack. The antenna looks pretty much custom made. What I haven't figured out yet is the pretty dominant jet pack kind of thing attached on the back. Any other ideas on this? Let's hear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 After seeing more photos over the weekend, I still can't stand the TK armor. That shoretrooper looks very cool as well as the other new costumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraulein Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Muffin tin. - You know I got have my muffins. JK - the base looks like these smaller plastic shipping pallets, like the kind for sodas or garden plants. ill go see if I can find an image of one. If there was a side view of the back pack, it might be easier to figure out what the stacked ring parts are. Could maybe be plastic shipping pallet as well.

Fraulein Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I think the rotated pic makes it better to look at. Because whatever it is might be oriented in a way that someone might recognize. It looks like two pieces. The base and the muffin tin. I still think it might be a plastic shipping tray of some sort. When end I first saw it in the trailer is thought "Stereo speakers. Cause you know you gotta have your jams when out killing rebels and such." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvdw Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Great thread! What are everyone's thoughts on something like this for the top pack? The length matches up almost exactly with the dimensions of the box (30cm+40cm+30cm): http://www.ebay.com/itm/172018066338 As for the metal piece hanging from the strap, I've done lots of random searching but haven't made much progress. Anyone have any ideas on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 When they used the large US Alice rucksack they cut off the top closure and attached it over the middle bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I would say the main top flap is simply pulled over the pocket not cut off. If the top half of the pack is empty the flap will pull down. I have one of these packs and know it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 That is spot on an American Alice pack. Before we switched to the MOLLE, everyone was issued these. I distinctly remember jumping out of C-130s and doing numerous road marches with this. Very easy to obtain and practically any military surplus store. The hardest part is getting the "muffin pan" since that website in located in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
