Ok....so here it is....a project ive been working on periodically. This system will allow you to change backpack versions based on additional troopers you may elect to do, without having to buy a whole new pack or spend days reworking your existing pack. This will also allow you to change components as new or more screen accurate pieces become available.

pics are of the first test of the system....worked perfect!!!

Now you have pack version #2

ooops....silly bottle tried to escape :)

So 4 screws each tray and heavyweight velcro hold it together.

it also will allow me to ship it safer and not have to use EXPRESS internation shipping....SAVES the buyer about $40.00 on shipping

Cheers...

Thanks Guys....Heres the pack for TK4510 (bee stinger and side pipe not shown)

this is the second shot at this...BTW....ships for about $15.00 in the US and is much safer for the pack. International Im thinking I can get shipped for about $35.00!!! talk about a HUGE saving!!!

to give some basic information about these packs.....

1. Radio is 100% scratch built with a removal face to allow for the insertion of electronics. Took me a long time to make a radio I was happy with.

2. Cistern main body assembly comes from Gordon (Duh....) lol.....base is put together with a system that will eventually be in my "how to" thread (havent done yet because with every build something gets better)

3. Vent port....Scratch built and has a special "lego like" assembly to it

4. Center wet wipes container with vac formed mushroom cap

5. tool box....standard project box with some reworking

6. Shotgun shells....they move....a special system that allows for them to look like they are actually usable and would feed into a blaster.

7. frame...seamless design with correct bends.

8. straps....they hold it on :)

9. trays...completely removable to allow for the changing of the trooper you intend to replicate.

Anyone who wishes to change their pack can just shoot me a PM and a few days later the new tray assembly will be on its way at a fraction of the cost to replace the whole pack. This is also great if your pack becomes damaged.
