TD-1536 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Not bad at all! Looks like one of the radio face plates from Gino if I'm not mistaken? EDIT: I think it's from the MDK kit. I'd also trim that extra lip off the hamburger stackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD 8733 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks guys. The radio is in fact MDK. I do plan on doing the trim on the stacker. Mike PM me if you can help with the vac parts. (Please, begging and pleading) Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-6829 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Great pack, I've had the pleasure of seeing it up close. Definately something to one day work towards. (Show off!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD 8733 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 The top for the bellows is a 3" pvc cap. I cut it short to fit down into the stackers perfect. I used a chopsaw for this (Kinda risky). I then used a belt sander to remove the writing on the top. The entire pack has been rubberized except for the mortar tube. The blue parts are Master Modelers Medium Blue painted over the rubber. The pack frame is a 70's girl scout frame. The radio is from MDK (thanks!) The boxes are from Seth. The box is a Tupperware Meatkeeper with Permacel Pro Gaffers tape. Alvin Ice Tube for the Mortar with the caps belt sanded down to get rid of the ridges. The filter is a pool filter from Walmart ( Mike's favorite place) I cut it down to size and reattached it with black silicone. The cylinders are hamster or rabbit water bottels from Walmart they unscrew from the pack and the mortar tube comes off via zip ties for travel. Alot of the research and mounting ideas came from Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD 8733 Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 They worked well because they have no writing or logo on them at all. Just add a standard white cap like you find on rubbing alcohol or peroxide, glue that to your desert cup and presto you can unscrew them.

Arppegio Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hamster water bottles? Man...I never even considered that. And here I have a full bottle of Metamucil that I was, because I'm not one to waste things, going to start drinking. Glad I can forgo that and just....uh...keep it around, lol. Looks like I'll be heading to Walmart this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 speaking of bottles, the 'Wet Ones' I found at Target for roughly $2.00 seem to work just fine. I primed, wet sanded, primed, wet sanded, painted blue, wet sanded, and one final coat of blue. I'm sure once all the weathering and hairspray is added, it should hold up fairly well. We'll see.
