[HWT Pack Build - SheaJeff]

I like the idea of the project boxes from Radio Shack but the cost adds up pretty quick.

This one is a pretty good fit for the radio size but it's $20!

 

11.4" x 8.3" x 3.1"

I looked at Michael's but I'll have to go back and look again

Did the Amazon pack include ALL the boxes needed?

[HWT Pack Build - SheaJeff]

Anybody know the sizes of the boxes?

I saw one build using the project boxes like this but I can't find which sizes to order.

Also, I'm wondering if I could use the endcap on the RIGHT for the each end of the side tube?  I like the more industrial look that the ribs add.

If not, can I use the closed endocap? (the one on the left)

I really don't like the look of taking a regular coupling and just cutting it in half.

Please advise.  Thanks.

I'm starting to build my pack while waiting on my armor, and wanted to make sure I started out right, so I'm starting this thread off with some confirmation questions.

I ordered the oil drain pan from Bavarian and then I found various plastic containers and such.

My question; will the pieces shown be acceptable? (once painted and detailed).  I want to be sure before I get too far down the road on this.

Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Could you elaborate more on the vents please.

It looks like you glued them with temporary spacers to angle them, correct?

How did you do that border around there?

I was looking at using a dryer vent but they are square. Yours gives the perfect look.

Thanks

I bought one of these too and wouldn't do it again.

It's a ton of sanding and the parts and assembly feel really fragile. For $160 I would have thought I could have trooped with it. I didn't need something I could only display!

I bought the electronics kit too. It sounds pretty bad; I don't know if it's just a bad speaker or what.

[HOWTO: Magnetic Plug and Socket. No more velcro.]

That's what I would have thought.

It's pretty interesting that there appear to be a lot of "wanna be" judges that sometimes give differing directions to people's questions. It's hard to know who to believe. I'm scared of trimming something or going down a path (i.e. magnets) then find out the "real" judges won't approve something that can't be fixed.

I'm just starting out with my first build and the magnets seems like a great idea.

But someone at a troop told me magnets weren't acceptable for approval and that only Velcro/snaps were allowed. Is this true?

What exactly are you using for the bondo?

[MI first TK build]

I'm just staring out next weekend. I think I need more clamps!

[Hear transport options]

Maybe you're where I got the idea; I saw it here somewhere and have added it to my To Do list

I'm hoping to make something out of this fleece; maybe with a thin layer of padding velcroed to the walls of my Huskey cargo box

 

(why is this pictures pasting in so big...?)

[ANH Stormtrooper Pauldron's]

Contact Trooper1 on the MEPD site. 

Apparently he's the one to get them from.  $90.

I'm going to order one soon.

[Templar's HWT Pack Build.]

I'd appreciate knowing the box sizes too.

I just ordered your recommended oil drain pan and want to get the rest of the stuff.

[Holster resource question]

Contact Darman.

[snap and strap options (pre-work)]

What size (width) nylon webbing are you using for the double snap method?  Do you know how many feet you ended up using (roughly)?

[T-Track; where can I buy them?]

Perfect!  Thanks.

[T-Track; where can I buy them?]

I'm making my own gun and was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase the T shaped rubber(?) molding that goes along the barrel.

Thanks.

[Lights, blasters, action!]

What about something from these guys?

Expensive but maybe worth a try?

[Velcro and plastidip...]

What's the "cheesecloth" method?<br>

Lay it in then spray?<br>

What's the advantage?

[Helmet liner]

How about these foam pieces for tactical helmet?----------

[AM 2.0 armor]

Holy cow that build is detailed!

It will take a lot of back and forth from the workbench to the computer to ensure I don't forget anything. Thanks for the link.

[AM 2.0 armor]

ordered my AM 2.0 kit at the 1st of Feb. got it in a few weeks. Finished it (minus the holster) this past weekend. It was my 1st build and I was very nervous! I liked that it cam pre trimmed and it was in my price range. Of course I had to do lots of additional trimming to fit me but it was not bad at all. I followed Navajo Bro's AM build tread also. His build thread is great for 1st time builders . Its very detailed. I highly recommend AM 2.0. You will be very happy with it I'm sure!!!!!

Can you post a link to Navajo Bro's build.

My AM will be arriving in May or June and it would be great to have this information. Thanks.

[Simple armor stand (PVC tubes)]

I love it!

I don't think my wife would want a creepy naked mannequin standing around so this is a great option!
