Yeah I was either going to make another set without the light or come up with a cover for the lights. Still figuring it out. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

This is the bondo I have been using. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. Small update, work has been kicking my butt this week. Made some more progress on the radio box. Primed it and then painted it black. Also made holes in the circles on the box for the LEDs and painted them. Glued the vents onto the vent box. I am going to add a small "box" around the vents to make it look a little nicer. Cut the side tube top/bottom to size. Didn't want the tube to be open so I added a plastruct top. Cut the tops to size and added a little bondo to fill in the seams and sanded it down. Last thing I was able to do was attach 2 of the boxes to the pack. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I an currently building mine using the same one Joseph is talking about. Works well and is cheap!! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I used a lighter to make my bicep hooks since I didn't have a heat gun. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Awesome! Great job. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Nice clean build! Only suggestion is to clean up the eyes a little. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Congrats! Another HWT EIB!! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Looking good trooper! Only thing I see is it looks like your eyes could use some more trimming. Good job!! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Looking good! Yeah I would trim the thighs a bit. Don't think it will hold you up though. Good luck! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

That is my understanding too. I am sure more will chime in. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Another update here. Hit up the dollar store to get some more supplies and did some more work on the boxes. The put some bondo in the seams on the radio box, sanded and primed it. Created the "vents" for the vent box. Did some more bondo work on the lower right angled box. Much happier with it now. Got some cups at the dollar store for the "cone" under the bottom right box. Also got a clorox wipes container for the middle cylinder. Here is the cylinder, bottom part of cone, and vents drying from the silver fox paint. Finished up the "button" box. Also picked up some measuring cups for the circles on the radio box. What do you think of the size? Do they stick out too much? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Walt is good and pumps out the armor. He probably has the quickest turnaround time right now. His customer service is great too. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Hi Jason and welcome! Like others have said take a look at Ukswrath build. Go slow and you will be fine. I also suggest posting your progress and asking questions, we are all here to help. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Pack is looking good! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Awesome tutorial! Thanks Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Looking good! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Thanks. I agree with the arches, I will make them more of a half circle. I also threw some nuts on those bolts just in case, thanks for looking out. Looking at this reference picture the buttons don't appear that big: Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I will try a new battery. Sly that would be great to see the tutorial. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Who has experienced an iComm battery dying? Trying to see if that's what's happening to me. I have had the unit a few months and about halfway through a three hour troop today it started to sound all weird. It's not as loud as before and my voice sounds garbled. The static burst also seems like it's slower and more drawn out. Anyone else experience this?

So today I was able to "work" from home which gave me some time to work on the boxes. I started with the big radio box. I cut the outlines on the box out of plastruct. Once the glue dries I will use some bondo and fill in the lines where the pieces meet Next I started the top left "button" box. Started with some rubber furniture feet, I primed and painted them flat black. After that I cut out the underlying greeblie from plastruct and painted it with the silver fox gray. I then primed the box so I can later paint it black. After that I moved onto the box to the right if the radio box. I decided to slant it like the reference pictures. If I knew what a pain in the an impolite person it was going to be I would have just left it flat. I started by cutting the bottom and top of the box to match. But there was no way I was going to be able to make it perfectly match up. So I knew I would have to use bondo on the sides to make it look like 1 piece. But before doing that I needed to make sure I would be able to attach it to the pack later. So I drilled holes in the bottom and glued some bolts into it. I also drilled the corresponding holes in the pack. Lastly I started the greeblie for the box but ran out of time. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
