Yiyo[501st] Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Before I glue this on, does this grey look too silvery? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan1313[TK] Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 It does look to shiny to me. Needs to be duller and more towards a shade of blue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Is this layout looking OK? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan1313[TK] Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think the side tube should maybe come down a little bit. Also either paint that red cap black or just cut the spout off. Otherwise its looking good. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Thanks! Yes, will connect wifi antena to red cap and paint. Tube is just placed there for looks, thanks!

Yiyo[501st] Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 And how do you cut these ends off? I left my Dremmel somewhere.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan1313[TK] Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Keep using the rivet tool. It may take a few squeezes but it will pop it off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Uhm...the rivet pliers should snip those off if the rivets are the correct length... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) How long does the antenna have to be? I found a small one in the garage.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited July 11, 2016 by YIYO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Found a 9€ longer antenna on Amazon. Is it OK to attach here like my colleagues in Spain did? And last question before I drill and glue everything on, the sizes and all look OK? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 This just arrived so I need to speed up now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Well, I can't afford to buy a shoulder strap right now, so I hope there is no problem in building my own tube detail! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Most paint is finished, I hope I can begin assembling soon (I know the canister is missing a plate - will add tomorrow ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 It's starting to come together now, smaller pack as I intended, some tweeks needed here and there, but happy with the hours put into it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yiyo[501st] Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I felt inspired by the WW2 communication packs! I can ways cut it, but at 6"1 amd 253 pounds, the wife said it simply added more "space and width " to my presence Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheaJeff[TK] Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I wanted an antenna like that too bad t was worried about trooping indoors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Been walking around the building with it today and got through all doors. I am 1,86 and the antenna reaches about 1,95 and looks great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 https://vimeo.com/174692363 Been sound testing today. Connected an old cell phone to a bluetooth speaker.

magni[TK] Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Nice! I need to add that feature to my pack. Just need to make it mutable easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
