Turtle Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hello everyone! First post and I am very excited. So I received some pouches from ebay the other day that looked like this, minus the paint drips. I cut the small pouch off and reattached it, painted them black with Eco Flo black for leather. The I used 220 grit sand paper and Tamiya weathering kit A, sprinkled and rubbed it on to get in the seams and everywhere else. Plus I threw them around rubbed them on each other and this is what I got. For the time being I just filled them with cotton batting until I can cut some wood, find some foam or make something out of styrene. Let me know what you guys think and if I need to make any changes. Thanks for the help! -Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks guys. A little more progress. I added some square foam to the inside which I think helps the look, not perfect, but nice and light. It also seemed that the flaps were too tall, so I pulled the seam on the back, shortened it and but it back on. Then I got some of Anthony's (Blaster 8266) leather MP40 pouches. Really nicely made, but much too clean. So I scuffed them up and added some imitation dirty. And since this is associated with the pouches I had the wife make me a belt. She got a big high five for this one. I'm going to paint the foam in the canvas pouches and I think that wraps it up. Thanks for looking and any suggestions.

Turtle Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Alright, a little thread title modification and a place to put the Pauldron photos. I snagged a Trooperbay Pauldron a little while ago. For me Trooper1 and Trooperbay were a toss up, both looked to be great products, but the immediate availability of the Trooperbay was a selling point this time around. So here is what I got. As some of you may notice there was a little issue, one of the seems was forgotten at some point. So I hit up Mike at Trooperbay and he gave me several options with what to do about it. Great customer service and I opted to keep it and he gave me a healthy discount for my trouble. I was going to take it to a shop, but decided I would try to fix it myself. Surprisingly it wasn't to difficult and it was time to start weathering. Here is were I got too so far. I might modify the weathering a little after checking some more references on the move along trooper. Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions you may have.

Turtle Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 And I just realized boots can go in this section too. LOL OK so I got some TK boots a little while ago. After going to the disco clubs a couple of times I tried my hand at weather them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
