woodman Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I set out to have JMLeather recreate all the pouches for me and the unknown box shaped one is done. I used the width of the belt and the pitcher lid to judge the size of it. It may not be the real thing,which remains unknown, but I think he has done a great job. I still dont have any of the pouches he's done for me in hand yet as he's still doing the rest but I should have them next week maybe. Here are some pics to look at. The real pouch Here's the reproduction Here's the site link http://www.etsy.com/listing/54727382/trooper-costume-leather-pouch-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Nice find!! He did quite a good job,though maybe i'll mod the loop on the back a little so it will 'sticking out'/visible,wish he had pics in 2 meter distance too I wonder who he is,looks like his knowledge about pouches for sand trooper was not common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 I sent him all the pics to go by and commisioned him to make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenthork Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 nice pouch for sure. but...the bottom of the strap on the photo of the film does not seem to have the same form as the JMLeather. (see exemple picture) also, the rivet on the top looks bigger than the original ammo pouch. i think too that the original pouch seems to be less broad? what do you think?

DirtyBoy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 yes the strap has a more squared off look and looks a little bit longer but thats a simple fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 I judged the width not from that pic but from watching the scene in slow-mo and there are only a feww spots where the side is visible and if the belt is 3 1/2" wide then 3" seemed a good number. I did the drawing showing the belt loops as poking up from behind the back but he didnt do them that way. What those things are on the real thing is very hard to tell but they are probably straps. I sent him an email with the changes but as for the rivet I dont think it's too big. I told him the straps needed to stick up from the back and changed the width from 3" to 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 We have to remember that these pouches maybe were pretty banged up during filming,so sharp edges and whistles will looked differently,and its getting harder by,camera lens,distance and Grraaaaaaaiiiiiiinnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodman Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Here's the info... 6 1/2" wide 4 1/2" tall 2" deep black rivet leave the closure strap 2" longer past the bottom and just round the corners, no point make sure the belt loops will fit a 3 1/2" belt and they should stick up past the top of the pouch 3/4" the lid is 1" wide I would like someone to confere with me on these changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 looks to be pretty close.....i was thinking maybe he should do a mock up in cardboard or something....this way hes not cutting too much leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
