bearden6521 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 My 5 yr old asked for a T21 and Pack throughout the duration of my projects, so once I had them done I decided to make him happy. I threw a kid sized pack together with virtually "crap" from the garage and some tuperware. I added a red flashing LED light with a toggle switch to the bottom left box that was left over too. I used PVC to make the frame of his pack. The entire thing is held together (very securely) with zip ties. I used a piece of nylon strap to make the should straps, though you can't see it in the pics. The T-21 was leftover pine board and pvc from my T-21 project. I put a ruler in the first pic so you can get an idea of their sizes. I guess you can figure out what he'll be for halloween! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Well I only went and started making moulds today for mini trooper armour I got all the base moulds for the arms and legs made,now I need to sculpt over them.It's my sons 3rd birthday in 8 weeks and I'm hoping to get it all made before then I'm gonna be taking pics along the way and will start a new progress thread.You can use the same methods for making adult armour so stay tuned -Paul.
