Yiyo[501st] Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Posted July 9, 2016 Before I glue this on, does this grey look too silvery? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted July 10, 2016 Report 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
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 Is this layout looking OK? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted July 10, 2016 Report 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
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Thanks! Yes, will connect wifi antena to red cap and paint. Tube is just placed there for looks, thanks! I can now proceed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited July 10, 2016 by YIYO Quote
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 Got some more stuff done in the meantime! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 And how do you cut these ends off? I left my Dremmel somewhere.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted July 10, 2016 Report 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
sylverbard[TK] Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 And how do you cut these ends off? I left my Dremmel somewhere.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Uhm...the rivet pliers should snip those off if the rivets are the correct length... Quote
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report 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
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report 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
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Posted July 11, 2016 This just arrived so I need to speed up now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report 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
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report 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
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report 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
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Even if it gets rejected, I liked the idea of a tall WW2 antenna! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited July 14, 2016 by YIYO Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 That's one big antenna!! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Yiyo[501st] Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report 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
SheaJeff[TK] Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 I wanted an antenna like that too bad t was worried about trooping indoors. 1 Quote
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report 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
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 https://vimeo.com/174692363 Been sound testing today. Connected an old cell phone to a bluetooth speaker. I know it's the TD chatter file, will change to TK! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
magni[TK] Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Nice! I need to add that feature to my pack. Just need to make it mutable easily. 1 Quote
