Don't worry boys, it will be big enough to hold the bread and vodka and go shopping in Paris  Should be finished with it today or tomorrow. And it's not a purse, it's a European shoulder bag |

Yes Bill, you are correct about them being fashionable, but I think I'll still pass. |

Nice of you to stop by Dicky. I thought it was a pretty good contest and since there are no prizes, I'm happy with the response I got. Of course I'm only a colonial so what do I know And no,it's not an heffalump tooth, it's a vintage European shoulder bag. I would think you would recognize it as if I remember right there's a picture of you somewhere on this site sportin' a PINK one  |

I think the bag will manage to hold at least two bottles of vodka or maybe French wine... great work there!

Nice job on the pack and placement, always good to keep the loader happy since he sits on that side. |

Tony, many measurements where taken before the construction of the backpack. It was determined that staying hydrated was more important than actually eating Bill, always most important to keep the "Breech greased" |

Almost there, still have a little more weathering to do, and I'm messing around with the blue background and camera settings. Here's a sneak peek. Tell me what you think.   Settings are O.K. I think, just need some better light  |

Good feedback Gents, thank you. I think once I get some better light the pics should be fine. Rained all day here so no chance for photos.  |

I love this baby mate, the small details really add up. Not sure if the blue background is working for me though, I'd say ditch it and use something grey or white...but that might be personal preference maybe...nevertheless it looks awesome!
Cheers

Wouts, I'm not sure I like the blue either. But the light wasn't very good when I took the pics, and I was messing around with the camera too. Gonna try the blue when I get some good light, but I may go back to the white. Thanks for the comment and input Bud |

I just caught up and I'm sorry I couldn't enter the blob competition. I had no clue but I think I could sort something funny Great job on the Emil Jeff, if it wasn't for the Tamiya bottles on the background it would be hard to tell it's a braille scale thingie... |

No sweat Lu, don't worry about it It's pretty much done, I'm still struggling with pic's. Should be squared away soon though, I hope  |

Should be finished with it today or tomorrow.
