Thanks so much to all those who worked so diligently to identify the parts used to create this prop, without your hard work this would have been impossible. I have been following this build since the start and and built a mock up first, then went back and reconstructed a 2nd version based on the new info as it came out. If you follow the tutorials made by ireachy and MrPaul you will end up with an extremely close replica of the celebration prop. I feel very confident that little or no changes will need to be made to make it screen accurate after R1 comes out.
Here are a few pics of my build
Asst parts from v1 slightly weathered, the straps had to be redone, as new pics showed the prop makers reversed them. The alice pack also got put through a black dye process, the nubs on the side of the ammo box got cut....
The splash effects on the pack were created by using this type of paint that has a sandy grit in it, I spray the paint into a folded comic book board then either sling it at the pack to create splashes or contact the fold of the board to an area on the pack and allow gravity to drip the paint down, this works well for getting crevices to accumulate "dirt n grime"
This is the first mock up of the pack,bedroll has wrong straps n buckles, webbing on alice needs to be replaced and correct buckles added as well as dyeing the pack darker. antenna is missing.
Fixes applied and rebuilt. padding was added to the inside of the bedroll via a thin bedsheet rolled up along with it and some foam in the 2 areas that lay on the sides of the ammo box. Bubble wrap was used inside/ behind the three front pouches
