So with 2 scratch builds winding down for the bigger kids, here's the concept for my little guys pack. He's about to blow a gasket because I haven't started his yet. Let the fun begin!

Thanks Matt.....the little guy is 5

I'm glad this concept is up and running. Made pretty good progress last night

Then some sanding this morning

The woman is out and about running errands all day so I should make some more strides today. I'll snap a few pics as I go and update later today.....

Wow!! Thanks for the perspective shot. I had no idea how much smaller that was! You're making quick work of that one. All the practice with the other 2 paid off.

This is going to be great! What are you going to do for straps?

Straps will probably be from a back pack. The only problem I foresee is scaling down some pieces and parts. If nothing else, I'll break out some clay.......

Thanks! After staring at it for a bit this morning, I think the Sync Gen needs to be a little taller. I think most of the other proportions are ok. I want this to weigh as little as possible but I want it to look good. The balance between looking good and weight is def a fine line.

Its comig along great. As for scaling. In my opinion, if you shorten the gear box a little and lengthen the gun mount a little it should line up nice. The gun mount should be closer to the height of the gear box. Still looks cool as hell though.

Right on. I'm paying lots of dues sanding that gear box. I'll give it a look see. I'm guessing that I'll be more inclined to cut off more than I'll add...lol

I'm gonna add that to my list of expressions at work regarding grinding/buffing/sanding! (Getting exercise, building character and paying dues!) :mrgreen:
