Awesome! Couple questions - 1) how did you attach the tank to the pack? Sintra? Lathed wood? and then 2) how did you connect the hose between the pack and the gun? I keep finding the wrong kind of hose and no connectors. Do you recall what they're called and where you found them? Plumbing supply place?
Thanks!

The tank is lathed wood, and since the main part of the pack is a hollow box, it is just screwed on from the inside of the pack (through the side). The hose once belonged to a shop-vac, and I mounted a connector for that specific hose to he wooden base of the medipack (which is hard to see in this photo, but the hose just friction-fits over the connector, so it kinda looks like its plugged into nothing). You can probably find shop-vac parts at a hardware store.

I've been trying to find the proper... Thing... To make the bottle-type-... Thing... Out of, but I've come up with nothing. Argh... :c What did you use?

Mine is made of wood turned on a lathe, but I could also recommend making it out of craft foam/eva foam. There is a good tutorial for using it here . Foam is quite versatile and you can sand and paint it to a great finish. I didn't know a lot about materials when I made this, but if I made it again today, I would try the foam route.

I have a question: How do you keep the medipack from drooping? I've been trying to figure it out for ages!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, mine has started drooping a bit, but to start with, the back of the harness is Y-shaped and connects to the belt, and it is built on a bent steel framework near the shoulders, with padding underneath. So the pack itself is screwed into a steel plate that hangs off my shoulders. Now the curve of the steel at the shoulders has started bending, and it wants to slide off my back, so I need to add adjustable straps in the front, but haven't done so yet <.<
Hopefully I will before this year's Dragon*con!

Seems a bit extreme for me (the metal plates), I'll have to try it though! Thanks for the help!

That would be spectacular if it came true!
The photoshoot last year was so crazy, something a little more chill would have worked better.

I was still upset because I was 2 minutes late, I didn't get to be apart of the Heavy and Heavy / Medic shoot :C
I'll be brining Heavy, and new this year will be BLU DemoWoman C:

The lining I made for it is complete, it's just laying around in Dad's basement somewhere, yet to be affixed to actual inside of medipack... When we make Brittany's Heavy outfit, I'll complete the lunch box, so we can use it to store Sandviches. That's what it was intended to do in the first place.

Actually, god knows when that's happening. We might have an outfit for Acen or Punch or whatever, but Sasha would likely have to wait.

i'm still trying to build mine. could you list materials used please?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's all wood, basically. A wooden box, and then knobs on top, as well as the tank looking part, were all turned on a lathe.
