Have completed 1 of 2 fully working US BC-1000 / SCR-300 to run in conjuction with the two SCR-536 US walkie talkies I have. All the radios have been wired up to modern walkie talkies so they all run on the same network. The backpacks are padded with black foam on the inside and can house BB,s, gas, speedloaders, your lunch etc etc and are fitted with original antennas.
The handsets are modern 'retro' ones that are designed to be plugged into mobile phones. These have been re-wired with 3 jacks which connect in conjunction with the radio, earpiece, mouthpiece and pressel. The earpiece jack can be removed and a separate headset be used if required (not made one yet).
The harness, back pad although not as per spec has been made also and cheap pistol belts bought for less than a tenner.
nice job mate! Have you tried max range yet?
:good: nice job mate! Have you tried max range yet?
Not yet mate but installed with same walkie talkies in the SCR-536's we used at the D-Day game

Should of taken photos as I went but basically they are ply boxes with the front and side details routered out. The top is a piece of timber, with screws, bolts, catches as seen in photo. The antenna connection (originals are porcelain) is made from a coke bottle neck with a metal screw cylinder inside for the antenna to screw into, around this is plaster of paris and araldite to make it all solid. This is then bolted to the top with a wire and spring fitted inside which attaches to the walkie talkie. The bottom belt brackets are aluminium sheet and hinges. The photos should explain the rest hopefully 
I would happily pay for one of these *nudge nudge* It looks awesome!

I too have put a modern walkie talkie radio inside a ww2 us walkie talkie but never found anyone who had done the same to their walkie talkie so that I could use it in a game unless I played in a walk on open day.
So as games go I've not used it properly yet.
see ya

Used these to great effect as part of US vehicle convoy at D-Day airsoft game 2013
More pics
And more
And a few more. The belt bracket requires a spot of green paint to finish it off
Looks great. Very impressed.
(We have a couple of the Handie Talkies within the 34th with PMRs inside. We also have a couple of PRC-77 back pack radios with VHF Baofengs inside for ... cough.... modernish... games. (Licenced of course).)
They really add to games, so would love a couple of these.
Looks like we can have some good coms that actually work together for the Allied forces so that could be great & sod the Axis. Lol
See ya

Aw did I not tell ya that these were captured by the Wehrmacht and as such are being used to outwit the US forces 
They are fantastic! Really well done on creating those BC-100 bodies!
Proper top-notch work there.
