This great. I'm always looking for new technology. Great find

Thanks Joseph. Weathering - Charcoal dust, blush brush and hair spray. Pm sent on ammo packs

Hey Andrew, I was half tempted to build and sell them, but there's just not enough interest, yet. It's really not that difficult, I built mine in a weekend, just follow my tutorial. You can do it!

Thank you Manuel. Waving the checked flag for you brother

Great idea and most importantly, enjoy the journey my friend

Hey G, HWT is just an extension of Stunt with minor alterations and weathering however, in addition there's a few items you'll have buy or build like pouches, a pauldron, backpack and maybe a BFG. To answer your question, it's up to you, it all depends on your building skills and the depth of your wallet . If you are a hobby/craft enthusiast and love these kinds of things then I say, go for it however, take your time, read, have patience, measure twice and cut once. If you're new to what I just said then I suggest by all means, baby steps, and of course take your time, read, have patience, measure twice and cut once. See where I'm going with this? Good luck and thank you

Thanks Andrew

Thanks a lot Steve

lol thanks Pat. Amazing what you can do when all the kids are grown up and you don't have a million activities to be at

You're very welcome Charles, awesome backpack you have there If I may say.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. I agree Vern. Like with the TD I think the HWT backpack may be under refinement for some time. It really depends on the accuracy of the screenshots and those with the decision making authority to determine what will be considered CRL. At this time I want to give a big shout out to Quartermaster for blazing this new accuracy trail we're on. Thank you sir

Sweet! Thanks Mathias

This will be the final installment to the HWT back pack build. Part 3 Part 1 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30034-hwt-backpack-build-part-1/ Part 2 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30036-heavy-weapons-backpack-build-part-2/ 7) Backpack Base: Once I figured out the size I needed for a base, I found and purchased 12.5 quart drain bucket from Amazon. 7a) Remove the drain funnel, fill & pour caps and cut off the threaded spouts. 7b) Scuff up the plastic to take off some of the new plastic shine 7) Installed the rubber radio antenna in the top hole (pour spout) DO NOT install antenna. 7) I slid a flat washer down onto the antenna (seen above) 7d) Took a section of Velcro (hook and loop sides), cut out a antenna top and glued it to the antenna (seen above) 7e) Assemble and install upper and lower mounting straps using 1" nylon webbing and 1" buckles. 7f) After determining how all the pieces we going to paced I drilled holes from the front panel side. Using drywall screws and glue attached each piece until completed. Final pictures. I do apologies for this being in 3 parts. Part 1 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30034-hwt-backpack-build-part-1/ Part 2 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30036-heavy-weapons-backpack-build-part-2/ If you have any questions or comment please don't hesitate to leave them here or PM me.

PART 2 Continuing on from HWT backpack build Part 1 > http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30034-hwt-backpack-build-part-1/ Part 1: http://www.whitearmo...k-build-part-1/ Part 3: http://www.whitearmo...d-part-3-final/ 4) Button Panel, Vent panel and lower right Panel CRL Images 4a) From Popit! storage set Button Panel - Xe 041 container 6.6" x 4.75", Vent Panel - Xe 051 container 8" x 5.6" Right Panel - Xe 061 container 9.1" x 6.6" Using large Exacto knife carefully remove sealing edges from all three containers. 4b) Sand all edges top and bottom for a level finish 4c) Place all 3 containers on the thick plastic Parking sign material, stencil and cut out material for container backs. 4d) Once cut, glue plastic covers to containers at removed sealing lip side. 4e) Once dry flip containers over. Place on black Art paper, draw and cut out. These will be the base for the front panels. Glue black paper to bottom side of containers. Once the glue has dried, at the corner edges drill and install 4 screws on the Xe 041 Button and Xe 061 lower right containers ONLY!, the Xe 051 Vent container does not require screws. 4f) Lower right panel Face plate: Cut a 6-3/4" x 4" section for the black art paper. Draw and cut out 3 arches inside this section as shown. Once finished it should look similar to this but unpainted. 4g) Trim, sand, prime and paint all 3 containers on all sides (not shown) 4h) Button Panel face plate: Using the thick parking sign material cut a 4" x 1-1/4" section. Angle cut the edges. Primer and paint using Valspar Silver Fox spray paint. 4i) Primer and paint buttons matte black. NOTE: These are now available in black, no need to paint. (Thanks Shawn) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M8I6YLH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 4j) Equally space and glue buttons to newly cut plate. Glue plate to button box.

Prime and paint Valspar Silver Fox 4l) Mark and cut out center section 3-1/8" x 5-7/8". 4m) Begin installing vent sections starting with the bottom placing it as shown. 4n) Before laying down the next vent place a small 1/8" piece of scrap material to support the next vent. Once finished the vent panel should look similar to this 5) Drop Siphon Funnel: CRL Image 5a) Cup assembly. Take your cup and cut the bottom making it 3 to 3-1/2" in length unless you have a cup that length already (no image) 5b) Draw and cut a section for the thick or thin sign material, doesn't matter here. Glue it to the top of the cup. Glue the soda cap to the plastic. 5c) Trip, sand, primer and paint matte black 5d) Cone section: Take the thin sale sign material and roll in into a cone like this. 5e) Apply glue, clamp and tape. Let sit min 12 hours. 5f) Cut the upper section so the it overlaps the lower section of the cup by 1/2". Cut the lower section the that the overall length is around 6" 5g) Trim, sand and prime. Once dry attach it to the cup by drilling 8 holes equally around the circumference of the cup and cone. Rivet the cone to the cup. Mask off the cup area and paint the cone Valspar Silver Fox. When finished it should look similar to this. 6) Confirm all components are ready to attach to backpack base.

Heavy Weapons Troopers, The following is a tutorial on how to build an approved Heavy Weapons Trooper backpack for around $140 US. I wanted to provide nice illustration pictures and giving file size constraints I will have to break this up into a couple few parts.

If you're following this build thread DO NOT install an antenna as seen the following illustrations. Other items: 4" x 4" tapered drinking cup $2 1" soda bottle cap 2-1/4" juice dispenser caps x2 Tools Needed: Drill Hacksaw or similar Sander with heavy and fine sandpaper, or just sandpaper Scotch-Brite pad Rivet gun Steel ruler Pencil Sharpie Small and Large Exacto knives Cut resistant, leather and latex gloves Safety glasses Philips screw driver I think I have everything, so let's begin. Next are a couple pics of my recently completed and approved HWT backpack 1) Antenna Tube: CRL Image 1a) Modify Face plate: In this section we'll take and modify a TK shoulder cover. Before 1b) Using a heat gun or hot water heat up material until it is pliable. Once pliable place a flat heavy object on material until cooled and flat, 30-60 seconds. After 1c) Cut out a 7 rib section. Reheat new section. Once pliable, using a towel and gloves place on the 2" PVC to shape it. Once completed it should look like this. Reheat if necessary. Place off to the side for later installation. 1d) Install and cut end caps: Mark PCV pipe and caps 1" from edges. 1e) Install caps on pipe up to marked areas. If the caps are firmly attached proceed to 1f. If not,remove, glue, let dry and then proceed. 1f) Cut of outer edge of caps where marked and sand down rough edges. 1g) Glue face plate: Glue 2" away from either edge. Wrap with rubber bands or tape and let glue dry. Once dried, tape off face plate and end caps. Lightly scuff up pipe with Scotch-Brite pad, wipe down with cloth and spray paint Matte black. Let dry then remove tape. It should look similar to this when finished. 2) Radio CRL Image 2a) Remove photo storage box lid and outside metal ID label holder. (no photo) 2b) Cut and remove lid edge. This will be used for the back of the radio (no photo) 2c) Mark and cut main box side edge to 2-1/2" in depth. 2d) Glue the the lid section to the main box, let dry then sand edges. 2e) Radio Face assembly Before gluing and paint 2f) Place 1 screw in each corner. (shown) 2g) Using 1/16" heavy, black art paper, cut upper face (square) section is 5" x 7" x 5/8" wide 2h) The lower, outer sections are 1/2" wide (shown) 2i) The lower inner sections are 5/8" wide (shown) 2j) Once all edges have been cut out, glue to box (without knobs). I suggest using a book or something flat with weight and wider than the box to evenly hold all pieces until dry. 2k) Once glue is dry, glue on knobs as shown. 2l) Once dry, using Scotch-Brite scuff up all radio surfaces. Primer spray paint all sides of radio, let dry. Scuff again then spray paint with Matte Black, let dry. Once finished your radio should look similar to this. 3) Upper Round Tube (wipes container) CRL Image 3a) Remove contents and outer label from container. Remove lid. Using Scotch-Brite scuff up all areas. Wipe down with towel. Primer spray paint and let dry. 3b) Scuff up primer and wipe with towel. Main body spray paint using Valspar Silver Fox. Let dry 3c) Once dry, mask off body leaving 6-1/2" x 1-1/2" exposed. 3d) Place 4 screws in a piece of cardboard and scuff up (not shown) 3e) Using Matte black spray paint body, lid and the 4 screws (not shown) 3f) Install screws in each corner of the black body section. When finished the tube assembly should look similar to this. End of Part 1 Part 2: http://www.whitearmo...k-build-part-2/ Part 3: http://www.whitearmo...d-part-3-final/
