    FW missle launchers and backpack problems.

    So because you cant seem to get several of the GW missle launchers in one place I went for the special weapons pack they have on FW. 1. its the only place I could find them easily. 2. I liked the look of these missle launchers and wanted something a little different. Long story short standard backpacks on marines will not work with the way the MLs sit on the mini. Anyone have any suggestions or should I just have them go naked?

    well...they are made to go with the older armor backpacks that FW sells...match the Mark of the weapon to an armor and it should fit....But I'd have no problem with you using no backpacks...or cutting part of them off

    Cut off the vent-orb thing on the right side of the backpack... should make plenty of room.

    Yeah that is what I was thinking of doing is modify the existing backpacks and maybe mount one exhaust vent on the top of the pack. You barely notice that they are missing packs just want the model to look "complete".

    I cut into the right side vent and made it have a square cut into. I had this same issue when I first got my FW MLs. Looks good painted up though. I will have to take a pic as I don't have any showing they way I did my back packs.
