Back at the end of January, I finished up my pack and now I finally have some time to update this thread with my results. Let's get started...
After painting the wand and reassembling, I started work on the final details.
One detail that I really wanted to replicate was the round neck foam that goes around the ALICE frame...
I started with some 1/2-inch pipe insulating foam from Home Depot and cut a piece at about 8 1/2"...
To get the white powdery look on the inside, I brushed on some white fabric paint...
Then I used a black paint pen and darkened the sides...
Finally, I used some black gaffers tape to attach to the ALICE frame...
Pretty close to this screen shot...
After that, I applied the motherboard neck foam, dry-rub decals, various stickers and some light weathering. Here is what I ended up with...
I'm super happy with my pack and couldn't have done it without this site and all the amazing members helping.
Thank you to...

That's all... until my next update
