I got it finished... well almost.

I got the exterior of my pack finished finally. Here's what I started with http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/finally-started-my-jp-17252/.

I'm still not sure what to do for the harness. Thats all I really have left to do. I was thinking about fitting a metal frame from a hiking backpack into it. Has anyone tried this?

Here are some pics.

Looks good! I love the light on the beacon!

go ESB!

Lookin' really nice. I also like the beacon light ... REALLY bright!;)

Thanks. I used one of those 12 volt DC hobby lights, like you use for train sets. I used an LED first but it wasn't bright enough to suit me. I got it at Radio Shack in the drawer with like the flashlight bulbs and stuff. It's running off of a 9V and 2 AA's wired in series.
