So I just recently decided to clean out my garage so I could get a real work space and not my basement. While I was there I got side tracked because of some really nice wood I found and now I'm building this thing...  imgur.com/EzknUhE imgur.com/SNiPN8hIt's the start of a manpack radio that I'm actually going to make function |

Are you trying to replicate the BC1000 radio? If so, that looks a bit big. My cardboard replica is 16" tall, 10.5" wide and 5" deep.

Nice project. I will send you some pictures of my BC1000 replicas along with demensions that might help you with your efforts. I like the way Brownian created the outer "X" shapes on the shell. It will also help to discquise the wood.

If you could send me the dimensions, that would be awesome! I couldnt really find any good ones so I had to wing it. I too will also be doing an X Shape and if you look closely, you can see that I've started the bottom half of detailing a bit.

How is you progress on the radios coming along? I hope the pictures and dimensions helped. Perhaps with school out you can get caught up on projects.

No kidding! Right now I'm preparing to test out of English and all the papers have really taken a chunk out of my work time. But past next Tuesday I'll be good to go!

Nice to hear that school is your priority which of course is as it should be.
