I Hate Backpacks - Finally Complete!
No'saj Huune:
I have that bust :D But seriously like you it's inspired me as well to make a "heavy hitter" pack thats gone through several attempts but nothing good enough to even post pics of. Glad to see someone else likes this design. ;D

I've spent all my latest free time on my helmet. Now that it is complete as I can make it until my tint comes in, I'm looking at my next project. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what one is next. I see a lot of PVC piping in my future though. As I think I can make a lot from that. The weapons rack will be the easiest. (And by easiest I should say, the least difficult. That is to say hard but not as hard as the rest.) :)
I'm sure I could go the sintra (sp) route, but I'm hoping to come across something at a thrift store or Goodwill Superstore that screams "Use me!" We'll see. And, I will most definitely keep ya'll posted as I progress.
MandalorianEwok:
OK, so here's my shopping list and plan for my back pack. My exciting new project in my quest for a Mandalorian suit.
First, I give you the plan:
Now, the PVC sizes are approximate and may change as I start the build. But this is what I have planned to start. The additions will most likely be sintra strips. But like everyone knows, plans can and may change.
Secondly, I have plans to make the back pack semi working. The plan is to incorporate a fan into the back pack and have it blow cool air into the helmet using #1. Also, if you notice above #8, there is another small box as well as another hose. (Sorry, didn't have a # added to this one.) The plan for that one is to have it be the power for the voice box. That is, if I have one. But it will open so I can add it at a later date if need be. Also, if you look at the picture below, you'll see what looks like a speaker box. If I make the armor similar to the McQuarrie Concept Fett, I may use this as the speaker.
The rest of the back pack will be mainly cosmetic and aesthetic. Though it is possible I may decide to also incorporate a water bladder into it as well. (Just thought of that as I was typing this.) :)
So, that's where I'm at. Still at the planning, but moving ever forward. Input would be appreciated if someone feels the need.
Pointoforigin:
It's a tiny, tiny piece of input, but I think the bottom horizontal tube should be 3" not 2". It appears to me to be half the width of the piece you said to be 6".
Bazii Malric:
Seems you do have it well thought out for your shopping list. I can't wait to see what you come up with for the fans to push air into your helmet. Some others have had that type of concept but I have yet to see anyone actually do it. I hope it works out for you! Good luck!! ;D
