Rolf Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi there i´m just in progress of upgrading my back pack. Here you see it: Its a: 1. MH/SB/Crashmann back pack kit. 2. Ebay vintage jug lid. 3. Vintage boy scout frame. 4. TM canister, end caps, and tube. 5. UK siphon. 6. White Comando radio. I have upgrade the pack, whit a new Crashmann/TD-1536 radio, and a gordon siphon: The rings on the siphon, are plastic hand handcuffs (in danish strips, not sure if that is the english word for it too, but sounds hot right ) I cut off the heads, and add the rings on whit E6000. I have also sandpaper the siphon down, so the Humbrol paint will stay on for good. I have cut off the wrong placed dot, and full it up whit hot glue. Same thing, using the hot glue for the right pace to make a dot. I just add a little extra, and the dot came by its self. I have drill out all the holes, in the radio round circle too whit my dremel. And add some metal net behind it as well. New pics up real soon. Have a nie weekend out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks for the kind words bro´s. I´m pretty happy for the parts on it, and how it looks now. I remember sci-fire talk about, making a full movie accurate pack kit, but no date on it. Maybe we can buy a full accurate kit one day. It would be cool, but its also fun to search the net, and get it together your self. And the MH/SB/Charlie kit have most of the parts now any way. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caomhanach Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Nice pack Rolf... Quick question though... No decals/stickers on the radio? The dial one on the left (not the dial itself) and the sonix logo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks bro. Its a funny pack, normal i just sell the whole pack for a upgrade. But this one i kept, and replace/upgrade parts here and there through time. I´m pretty happy for the looks for now, even there are all ways things to be done.
