I'm really impressed. You guys got the correct 'seed tray' type for the boxes. Also you're using PVC piping as the frame-design. The original ones used boyscout backpack frames but they're really hard to find now, so alot of the guys build their owm from pvc pipes. Also good find on the toilet cistern! Looking really good, guys! :)

Thanks Boss! :twisted: We got the seedtrays from one of the sandtroopers in the States. Wanted to have a more accurate look rather than sourcing some trays here.

Got the cistern with the help of Gordon also. 8)

For your infor, we are making 3 sets of backpacks now. Alfred, Ken & me will be converting to TD once they are done. :twisted:

WHHYYyyyyyy are you converting to TD so fast? I know a TK's lifespan in the Imperial army is short but please try to stay alive boys!!! We need TKs, not some dirty policemen in remote planets! Unless you become those Clone Senate Security, those are cool!

I think I'm gonna get shot for the above! gg to hide soon....

Looking very good, guys. For the more flexible plastics, do remember to spray a primer on before the actual paint job. Else the paint will come off quite easily.

Heh, TKs can be dirty too. After that they clean their armour. Eg during the Putrajaya Hot Air balloon in KL, Rid & I treaded on muddy grounds whereby our boots & shin armour made us looked like clones after the battle of Genosia!!! We use the hotel's toothbrush to clean them to be ready for the next day! Heh

Garang we TKs are...as garang as Sandies if you might say so...maybe more!!! Muahahaha

:? Guys, anyone know where i can get the toolbox which is located at the top seedtray next to the blue cylinder. THe toolbox have black tape mark across it horizontally & vertically. I know some uses tupperware but i would like to get something as close as the original. Tupperware box corners are too rounded.

I had all of the parts now but only short of the toolbox. Sigh.... :cry:
