Noel...these were on sale at Canadian Zellers.. for around $25 and it measures approx. 6.5" x 5.5"...and yes much smaller than actual...some ref pics below...
thank you all...you can truly appreciate the time and fun when you actually work on anything like this...this is as much fun as trooping.
Paul thank you very much for your comments
Very simple actually for now until I get the backpack (if thats how they are attached) or I may leave it.
I used an elastic strap and some snaps.
Not ruining the pouch I attached the elastic strap around the top leather loop in the back of the pouch. and the other end of the strap with a snap to the underside of the rear back plate, just under the shoulder strap (I know these have to be changed..LOL). The strap is not visable when the pauldron is added. some quik picks..
Here are a few of my finished weathering (this was allot of fun and messy)
...things still to complete in this order:
1. figure how to fasten the side and shoulder pouches for now.
2. canvas shoulder straps
3. backpack - sergent style
4. green plastic lens ( I have the green bubble ones)
Here is a quick photo of me wearing the new TD armor...
No problem..I was thinking of cleaning it up a bit as well....this is not final...photos always make it look different then in person..
I've been looking at so many photos anyways I'm not trying to get it too screen acurate I want sort of my own look but not too far off...
thanks..
