FOTK Backpack

I'll break out the candles when it's finished. lol

Hmm maybe you'll have some of these in production by the time my armor gets cast jimmi. Might as well make the most of those high shipping costs to the US and do it all in one big blast!

Turning this over to my friend for finishing...

Awesome!!! Can't wait. How do you plan to attach it to the TK back though?

Not sure yet...This is mainly for the Snow trooper armor i'm building and i'm still working out how to attach this to the snow trooper...I was planning for it to be permanently fixed to the snow back and worn with integrated strapping, but it looks like i'll have to figure out a way to make it detachable if one wants to use it for the FOTK.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[ukswrath[Staff]]

I'll be attaching it to my tactical vest

For the snowtrooper, the backpack is worn... like a backpack. There are two white straps coming from the back of it and looping around each shoulder. You can easily see them on few reference pictures.

 

At least that's what I'm thinking.

Yea I'd really like to see some images of how it's exactly fashioned for the different troopers. I've built three backpacks and unless they are connected to existing hardware, straight over the shoulder strapping does not work, hence the reason the tactical vest straps crossing in the rear, without it they fall right off your shoulders. That means the backpacks will need to cross in the front. So yea, images would be most helpful.

You're really lazy...

As usual I can always count on you to be a confidence builder Germain. I see one section of strapping, I'VE SEEN BEFORE. Unless you can miraculously pull some other images out of your back side instead of speculating on how everything is connected, please chill. 

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Oh a please go back and re-read my earlier post regarding the HGT connection before spouting off. 

[jimmiroquai[TK]]

On my analysis of the snow trooper, i think the straps of the back pack go through and under the back plate somehow, crossing or connecting in front with a waist strap that also passes underneath the back plate. Then the chest armor is just velcro-ed to the shoulder area of the back plate, covering all the straps.

[Fedaykin[TK]]

Oh ok, just realized that only TKs with vests have the backpack. Of course. While i love the style, i have come to realize that i lack the skills to hack the vest together. Might be because i am new to all of this. I even managed to kinda mess up my gaskets a little bit, even though that should be easy to build, right?... oh well... Anyway, I'd rather resort to buying finished stuff now to save myself and others from the embarrassment.

Haha! That's how I feel.

Pretty much what i'm thinking too.

Looks like some of us are on the same page  ,  imagine that.

 

".......That means the backpacks will need to cross in the front. So yea, images would be most helpful."   

[The5thHorseman[501st]]

So it's settle, this how I see it. Does not cross in front, but sides are connected.

 

 

Nice signature edit by the way Tony. Very suited to you indeed.

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Strapping very possible yes  

 

Signature lol, I think you know who it is intended for 

 

Edit: Perfectly timed on my 5000 post 

[Fedaykin[TK]]

Hm, seems lika a "Batman V Superman" kind of situation here.

 

However, strapping seems legit.

Eh! it's all just best guess until we see images anyhow.
