Sandtrooper Backpacks

[tk412]

I'm making a new backpack for my armor. Here's a sneak peak of my process. Everything is bolted or screwed in.<br><br>Arturo TK412<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1 ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1 ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1 ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>To see the rest go here <br><br>http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1 ... 0&res=high <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub76.ezboard.com/utk412.showPub ...

SUUU- UUUU- UUUU-PPPPEEERRRRR, DDDDD-UUUUUUUP-EERRRRRRRRRRR!<br><br>that looks pretty cool!<br><br>do you have any problems wearing it? I mean does it get in the way with the back armor at all, or I suppose its hollow so that wouldn't affect it at all. Huhn, might have to take a go at it.<br><br>by the way, do you put any kind of rubber stripping around the edges so it doesn't hack up your<br>armor?<br><br>and if anyone is wanting make one of these, I have PLENTY of Tins ( tabacco) anyone can have.<br>Bad habit number 3, that I have! <p>JoeTK171Commander<br>Central Garrison 501st<br><center><a href=http://pub23.ezboard.com/bpropreplicas><img height=99 width=360 src=http://www.geocities.com/bonofl/asapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=http://www.geocities.com/bonofl/asapban ... enter><img src=http://thematrix.acmecity.com/realworld ... </p><i></i>

Thanks guys!<br><br>I wont have any problems at all. I will be installing some foam pads (thanks to Luis) inside the hollow parts, it will fit perfect indide my square in my upper back. For the trim part, I will be using car door trim. The pack will rest in my shoulders with straps, and rest in my so thermol detenator.<br><br>like this.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.r2ro.com/images/backpacksque ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>Later<br>TK412<br>Arturo <p></p><i></i>

Looks excellent, Arturo !<br><br>Although I'm a "Death Star-clean" trooper, I've noticed that there aren't many good reference pics of Sandtrooper backpacks.<br><br>Here's one that'll maybe help out Backpack builders, and it clearly shows the 2-part hinged design <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1 ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>There's also a couple more Sandtrooper pics on my photopoint account at <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumInd ... 1129">Rare Stormtrooper Images</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> which shows stuff like the different abs piece etc (if you can make it out under all the dirt <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> )<br><br>HTH<br><br>John TK-306 <p>" I don't think the Empire had Wookiees in mind when they designed her, Chewie "</p><i></i>

Thanks for that picture. it really is hard to find some shots of it.<br><br>BTW.... I found some great pieces to make a "custom" one if anyone is interested.<br><br>Just go out and buy yourself a "Boston Market" Microwave tv dinner at the grocery store. Go home and make it for supper, and clean out the container when done. Then add it to your backpack.<br><br><br>after a few nights of meals, you pack will be done, and you'll have gained 20 LBs and can't fit into your armor anyways, so you gotta go to the gym. <br><br>But the containers are interesting, and would work great for a custom backpack! <p>JoeTK171Commander<br>Central Garrison 501st<br><center><a href=http://pub23.ezboard.com/bpropreplicas><img height=99 width=360 src=http://www.geocities.com/bonofl/asapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=http://www.geocities.com/bonofl/asapban ... enter><img src=http://thematrix.acmecity.com/realworld ... </p><i></i>

Great shot of the backpack Pugman! I've seen the pic before, but not that close up. Thanks<br><br>Arturo<br>TK412 <p></p><i></i>

I finished mine a couple of days ago just in time for my first event. I have a CD player mounted in the lower big box and two powered speakers mounted in the smaller rectangular box...it kicked ass! It is built about the same way as Arturos but I used seatbelt material to connect the two main boxes rather than a hinge...I didn't like the idea of metal hinges potentially rubbing my armor.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1 ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p>Shawn Mahood,TK/TD 1820,Garrison Titan XO,Tour of Duty:,Pacific Science Center "Astronomy Days 2001"</p><i></i>

Chris I told you the only reason I was painting my backpack at the resturant was that I like the fumes!<br><br>actually I smacked the tube on the door frame on the way out of the house and cracked a bunch off <p>Shawn Mahood,TK/TD 1820,Garrison Titan XO,Tour of Duty:,Pacific Science Center "Astronomy Days 2001"</p><i></i>
