Caomhanach Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Bloody nice!! Real cistern and all! There is a story behind that... My friend back in the UK was gutting out his 1970's built bathroom, so I asked him to take a picture of his cistern which he thought was mighty strange with an "err okayyyy he's wanting to see my old toilet"... Once I explained he was like oh yeh no problem... I saw it and asked him to send it out to me... Rather lucky I thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Beyond upgrade - this is simply fantastic Mike. Just a wee bit of weathering and your golden. Now - about the rest of the armor...still got that FX with the ab plate buttons still attached? ;-) Isn't about time you get deployed?

TD2802 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Now a true sign of friendship is a buddy gifting you their toilet parts As far as I'm concerned you're deployable but that's just me because its all self-perception anyway and upgrading a pack should be treated like earning a merit badge.

Plastic Fury Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Looks great man, loving the "used" cistern attachment from your friend, that's great lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Looks freaking cool. Only two small thing. 1. The sergeant pack don´t have the black tape on the blue tray, only the captain move a long pack has. 2. The "air" cut off on the siphon, should not have been cut off.

crashmann Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Wow, beautiful work Mike! I love the story behind the cistern too, that makes it even more authentic One question though - Are you going to use the pink umbrella with the new pack?

Scootch Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Oh the little piece which connects the two pipes? Okay Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Oh the little piece which connects the two pipes? Okay Thanks You got it bro. I looks to me, the piece shall be there, and not to be cut/trim off. (i guess some just cut it off, because we assemble the MH/SB siphon kit our self, before we found the UK siphon here).

Daric LaRone Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Of course this all benefits me b/c I bought the old pack from my garrison mate Mike and am in the process of upgrading that one as we speak! Now I can see the before and (optimal) after! Great job with the new pack Mike! And great talking with you this evening; thanks for the advice on getting suited up to patrol the Hive (of scum and villany of course)!
