Well this has been a busy year, between getting my GB 1 pack parts organized and building the Ecto 1ATV, we haven't had much time to do anything. The Ecto is currently waiting for the new sound chip so we have some down time. We are planning on attending Packs in the Parks this year and naturally the wife will need a pack. She decided on a RGB pack so we got to looking around for plans. Well there aren't really any out there and the closest we could come was the DIC prints in the RGB box set which are available here: http://www.theraffon.net/~spookcentral/rgb_art.htm
We decided to base our dimensions on fitting a Alice Pack frame but we may go the way of a internal strap rig like the actual RGB packs. So far this has been a collaboration of myself, USFMichele and Silverstreak. We plan on sharing any and all dimensions for this build to make it easier for anyone in the community to build one. We will be posting dimensions and plans once the build is complete.
Here is where we are at now:
The concept sketch from the DIC box set
The additional sketches
Got to work on the main pack body
The back layer is 1/4" MDF with a 3/4" MDF body ring and the top layer is 1/2" MDF
We used dowel sections for alignment and will be making the pack body to split open for maintenance
Started in on some of the detail work and figuring out proportions
And there we are for now. Any suggestions or measurements would be appreciated. We want to keep this as open source as possible.
