Sith'ari's Elite Novatrooper APPROVED 12/28/10

[bscheff[501st]]

Hey guys, I need some suggestions for the mortar tube and radar dish that is attached to it. I have a 2" pvc tube which is a little small for the detonator plate and 3" is way too big. Unfortunately they do not sell 2.5" locally, which would likely be the best bet. I also cant find the radar dish from the old school tupperware. So any new alternatives to that?

 

Since backpacks are a "loose interpretation" do you think having no mortar tube would hold me up? One of the new guys back packs kinda looks like a proton pack and I dont think it was a problem.

 

Please help.

I ended up using a rubber drain cover for my dish I think. It was $1 at big lots I think. I used 2" tube I think. my plate was .060 HIPS so it may have been more flexible but I was able to wrap it and then with clamps and e6000 get it to stay put. Hope that helps

No you wouldn't HAVE to have the mortar tube, but who doesn't want one!

 

I'd find out from scootch what size tube the CAP-W stuff fits, he may be able to help you out. Also if you decide you do want a tube and need the dish, I have a resin cast of the radar dish that I could toss your way.

Looks awesome bro! I don't see why you should have a problem.

Hopefully Zack just pushes this through real quick. I don't see anyone on the GML committee having anything bad to say. And seriously, your front door is small bro..

Thanks guys! I am excited to say the least. It may take a lil longer for approval, being the holidays and people are traveling, but I will let you know when I hear.
