Hoth Rebel Backpack

[Craig Walker]

Fabricated a Hoth backpack over the last 2 days. Think it turned out pretty well

Awesome. I scratch-built a Dengar backpack and was surprised it is much the same as the Hoth backpack - same frame.

Ha, cool

I think they "re-purposed" a lot to save time/money. The Endor packs are just the Hoth packs painted green



Frame looks like a lawn chair, or pull cart or something they found to use.

Pretty ingenious how they built stuff back then, and it looked functional.

Nice work. Just curious, what did you use to make the hose?

Sandtroopers use the same frame as well.

Thanks all Had not checked thread in a bit.

Nice work. Just curious, what did you use to make the hose?

The hose is a hollow piece of styrene tube, cut in small rings, then threaded over a solid piece of styrene rod. So gives corrugated hose look.

Excellent project! I have a couple times kicked around the idea of trying to make Hoth Rebel Troopers out of Hasbro Luke figues as a starting point. But there is so much work to be done that I have mostly abandoned the idea. Too bad Sideshow never made Hoth Rebels similar to their Endor counterparts. I can't imagine any of the current 1/6 Star Wars companies making them now, a knockoff company is probably the only slim shot.

Thanks.

I'm actually getting out of the 1/6 line, going statues only.....so this will be sold in future.
