iconoclasta_88 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have a quick question. When your wearing the pack should the bee stinger be resting against your butt? because that is how it is when I put mine on. Mine used to. Just placed it a bit farther from your butt under the seedtray. If you cant, dont worry much, you might end up with blue stains on your butt, but unless your butt is really pushing the stinger, I would say there is no big deal. Saludos.

ECOLI Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hey Panda, great tutorial I have a quick question what size is that Lab pipe you are using diameter etc. Heck if you know the name of the part too I would be grateful. I too am shooting for that trooper for my TD. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 pipes are traditionally 29" by 2" you can get them already in black at the home depot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK4702 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Really? I would have guess the pipe to be a 2 1/2" diameter. I too have a couple questions ... What was the found part for the exhaust port box (with the rounded edges)? Also, was the toolbox named to as such, or was the found part actually a toolbox?

pandatrooper Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think the toolbox was just named "toolbox", much like the bee stinger etc. I have a theory that the "exhaust port" part was either an interior engine part (like a fuse box or the like) since it has tabs for mounting to some surface, and the tube sticking out is likely for wiring. I think it could also be an electrical conduit box. Check out this modern one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree....it looks alot like thats what it would be used for. the top is rounded so it also leads me to believe it was probably something that was snaked through the back as opposed to the one shown that has the removable front.

TheEvilJawa Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Great job Terry. Its been a while since you constructed it but I'm new to this forum and from the DSG, so I'd like to still say congrats to a fellow trooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmunger Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Lovet this tutorial. Do you have the parts list for the exhaust tube? Just the tube parts, not the box. Such as, the sources for the two sizes of layered pipe and the ribbed section under the hose clamp? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'd have to measure it, but those are easy finds in the plumbing dept. Mostly PVC parts and I think the ridged section is an underground sprinkler part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIBBLER Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Terry, this is definitely one of the best 'go-to' threads here in the forums. Great tutorial and a main staple for future, as well as cuurent Officers! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandatrooper Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Most of the guys that make pack parts like the seed trays sell those. You just need to box, the tube and extra bits you can make yourself. Some guys have also been using electrical conduit boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveMonkey Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This is a great guide, really appreciate it. In my quest to build my TD, I'm trying to decide if it would be easier and/or more cost effective to build my own pack or buy a pre-built one. I'm not very handy, hence the dilemma. Can anyone give me a rough estimate of what all the parts might cost? Would be very helpful to budget this in to the remaining items I need to buy. Thanks.

ghoulcinder@hotmail.co.uk Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'd definitely build one yourself mate, look at Nick Black's build thread, it's in the Backpack section as well, he's using the same frame as they used in the films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go basic pack builds for police officer status or to just look awesome when trooping or you can get into more advanced screen accurate packs that will cost more. No pack will be 100% accurate since original parts used are really not available to purchase. Raw materials would cost you about $75.....a kit would double that and a full build costs between 2 and 3 hundred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
