Hello everyone!
My main Mando build is practically complete, so it's time to start accessorising. I didn't feel like doing a jetpack, but I did want something with an 'in universe's origin, so I decided to build this backpack
I really enjoy the design and I thought it would match my new helmet
So I started doing quite a bit of thinking, and decided to go for a 'hybrid build' ; both scratch build Sintra parts, and 3d printed parts(which I all designed and printed myself). Next, I decided to split the backpack in 2 main parts. The 'box' and the 'tube'
They fit perfectly together due to the custom 3d printed brackets.
Some of the 3d printed greeblies have already been put on, they just need a small amount of bodywork.
I did quite a bit of designing and printing already. Here's what's printed to far
There's more stuff printing as I write this
The colours of the backpack will be different from the concept art version. it will match my Mando's colours (Black, grey and Turquoise). I will also make it a bit more weathered. I've done a detailed schematic on what will me printed vs scratch build, I might share that with you.
I'm not 100% sure about the attachment method yet, but I might do side release buckles.
That's all I've got so far, I will update as more stuff is done!
