Krell102 Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I just bought a RSpropmaster sand trooper with backpack. I am using it for a life size display . How do I mount the back pack without smashing the back armor ? Does it just sit on top of the back armor I’m afraid it might crack it’s too heavy . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hello and welcome, the backpack is strapped pretty much like any backpack, it does rest against the back of the armor and doesn't crack For Heavy weapons trooper the backplate rests inside the backpack Sandtroopers (MEPD forum) backpack rests against back plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furniture foam (light yellow) is what I usually use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of the foam, but do you have any pics of your mannequin(s) without armor to show how you did this? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don't have any photos handy, I have since sold the mannequin as droids have taken over available display space. Basically just used foam and duct tape in areas that were a bit loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
