Hello. -  I am trying to make up an antique looking back-pack radio for my Toy Town Army character Private Tickles. The 'era' or date/time is not really relevant, just a box with a few dials and switches and an arial would be great. Problem is, I haven't got a scoobie about developing an object and inserting it into DAZ. Any advice or suggestions would be very helpful please. I've attached a couple of the illustrations to give you some idea of what this is all about. The whole regimental cheese supply has been stolen from the kitchen. Private Tickles has to get it back.

Thank you for your time.

    You might be better off posting this in the commons. Not much traffic on this part of the forums

    Moved to Product Suggestions (which is more appropriate than the Commons) by editing the first post - please don't repost the same topic in another sub-forum.

    I searched my runtime for a military style backpack with communications gear and came up with nothing. But after re-reading your post, I searched the store for 'radios' and found two military radio setups, but I am not sure they will help you. But maybe with shaders ...?

    Would this work?

    I modelled a simple one.

    I think those are just civilian models of what we used to repair in our unit: WW II Radios | Daz 3D, they were still in use 30 years ago, but today I am unsure.

    Well the ones I trained on for Disaster Preparedness at Edwards AFB were carried in a 4-wheel drive vehicle that combined a command center and an air/space control center. I never want to drive something like that again. But we were backup if something took out the main facilities on the base for air or space operations.

    I have to laugh at the term Ancient being used for older technology 

    like it was found in an Egyptian pyramid or something laugh
