FIVE Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 OH yeah, I know/knew that! hahaha Sorry about that Miranda. I'm so used to typing the same things again and again — not that I don't mean them — that my fingers have a mind(s) of their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoox Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 lol, no worries. I guess it is more of a man's world so it is understandable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoox Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Finished my back pack today! Well.. about 95% I guess. I need to attach the side pipe and strapping but that's easy The hard part is done yay! And with the lights on: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Nice, nice, lights for the dark alleys of Mos Eisley! Congrats Sis!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoox Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks, they have 2 settings, blinking and regular and it looks pretty nifty hehe. If everything turns out well I might even have a first little troop in my sandy this Saturday. I am excited haha. It will be a good test run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 looks great Miranda.....dont forget the '+' tape on the top box and blacken up those screws...i use a little bit of bondo or comparable fill then paint. light effect is really cool and im sure the kids will love it. theres also a small piece that should be removed (not required....just makes your pack more accurate)from the top center canister and the cistern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoox Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Ohh thats right! The tape on the box! duh! thanks! I almost forgot lol. I will black out the screws and try to remove the nub on top of the canister. I kind of like the nub on the cistern though hehe. What is the best way to attach the side pipe? Screws? or rivets?

sith_241 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 What is the best way to attach the side pipe? Screws? or rivets? Zip ties and maybe a bolt if those arent strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoox Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 I worked on my canvas pouch today. Relocated the small pouch, dyed and aged everything and it looks pretty sweet I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven6056 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yo Sis! Very cool build so far, this has been a master class in modding and weathering. My own build is reaping the benefits at the moment and ought to be complete soon. Thus, thanks for sharing all your work with us, your garrison is going to have one kit-butt sandy in the ranks real soon. Keep up the good work!!!!!

spoox Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Thanks Raven! I am about finished! Today I finished the backpack strapping and redid a few strapping parts on my armor to make it a bit more comfortable. All I have left is adding the side pipe to my pack. I am still thinking on how to do this lol. Probably with a long bolt/nut on top and then a few zip ties. Then all I have to do is remove the fan from my old FX helmet and place it in my CAP and I am ready to take pics for my 501st and MEPD approvals woohoo! Post some pics too?

Sandman Tigui Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Proud of your will and passion of becoming a TD. Good to have you here Miranda!!! The MEPD could use a thought girl like you in the force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
