New Forum Member interested in building a HW Trooper

[SamW]

Hi there

My name is Sam and I recently had my ANH Stunt TK cleared by the UKG 

Am yet to do my induction Troop but already have the bug to build the extras so I can switch between a regular TK and a HW one.

I have been searching high and low for a suitable oil drain container as the base for the pack and unsure on what to buy.

It seems the Garage Boss one is forever discontinued and I think it was never available in the UK anyway.

It would be great if any UK/European HW Troopers could chime in with any advice and I can also link to some I've found which MIGHT be suitable.

I can pretty much get the other components easily here in the UK no problem.

Not sure there are many/any UK HWT troopers, though I am sure with a bit of hunting about we could find something suitable.

Seems the popular choice is a Sandy,if you want a cool backpack pouches and look a bit dirty.

I've got my eyes on this as something that has no extras that need hacking off.

I've seen a few on here use this one but needs  the ends hacked off,which I can do but might leave horrible looking holes that need filling etc
