TD-9914 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Awesome job, bro! Now, all you need to do is get your Hummer equally as dirty! (that and add a turret) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-6602 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I can only follow the previous comments. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ya, I know....the Imperial Hummer def needs a gun mounted to the roof. I built one and then decided it needs to swivel for when we do events. Biggest obstacle Im running into is how to mount it and drive on the highway without getting shot at by the local law enforcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Noel....its got the same frame and boxes that yours has...been playing around with it and actually starting to like the results. Keep learning new tricks with every one....funny thing is I had never used pop rivets before a month ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 ...funny thing is I had never used pop rivets before a month ago I had never used them until I did my first TK... now my first thought is always, "Could I rivet that?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick what is the exact lenght of the mortar tube you've used on your backpack? Is it a PVC Tube or an clear Alvin Ice Tube spray painted black? I'm using a 29" Grey PVC pipe for my Mortar Tube - a good fit for the End Caps and Control Plate. I might trim 1/2" to 1" off mine if things don't fit well after my dry run.

Hey Peter....I went with PVC pipe painted black and cut to the length of 28 inches....added the top cap wich gave me the overall length of 29 inches. In the picture the pipe shows the length at about 33 inches....it was one of those things I had overlooked as I was building but has since been cut down.

Thanks Rick, and 33" is indeed long and makes the backpack imbalanced on the right side. Yep I'll put the end caps on mine and get the overall measurement before trimming my PVC pipe. BTW is this the Harbor Blue you've used to paint your backpack parts : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW is this the Harbor Blue you've used to paint your backpack parts : Sure does.....I dont know what i was thinking when i cut it that long.....lol That IS the blue I use.....Harbor Blue Dry time is much longer than any other paint I've used so plan accordingly lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk0158 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Congratulations Rick! You are now Officially Deployed as an Officer in the Mos Eisley Police Department!Great job, my CTG brother! I've put off my own application far too long, so hopefully I'll be doing that in the coming week. Not a lot of sand in Connecticut, but plenty of room for dirty troopers!

Not a lot of sand in Connecticut, but plenty of room for dirty troopers! Hey Rob!!!! Thanks Brother!!! Definitely plenty of room....I was just talking with Gary yesterday about maybe getting us all together for a photoshoot in the dunes somewhere. I would love it if we could get every TD in the CTG "deployed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
