looks great, nice vid. the only thing i would like to comment on is your paint job. im not sure how or what you used, but the paint appears to have a lot of texture to it. it doesnt have the smooth look as it should. but if that is what you were going for or dont mind the look, then the hell with what i said and we’ll keep it at it looks great. oh, by the way. do you have any production pics? just curious. i wish i would have taken some of my second pack… owell, too late now ---

For the paint I used a crinkle finish, alot of military and aviation equipment used it over the aluminium frames. Asuming that Egon and Ray used many spare parts to build the packs because of limited funds I thought it was a nice touch. It really adds to the effect that everything is made of aluminium. ---

The pack looks great, though I must admit I am not a big fan of the finish. Looks like you painted it with Line-X. But as long as you are happy with it. 🆒
