He just completed a move to a new place and I have the links for the pouches. http://www.etsy.com/listing/57602740...-small-pouch-1 http://www.etsy.com/listing/57602858...eather-pouch-2 There you go and he makes the 3 slot pouches too and is redoing the link at his site.

It's the same guy

I am very happy with the pouches. tell me what you think. I think JM leather hit a home run.

My squad did one here in Ar and mall cops nixed the weapons. I am my squads Fett so I was naked! Fett without a gun is sad. LOL!

Man you have to be a pencil thin fella to wear one of these made for us as a chest protector now.

That looks fantastic I love the variable wear. Glad to see the tutorial helping folks and gthanks for the shout out. You painting the TX into a sandy?

that's great.

I really like the look of it.

Very nice Rick, Look forward to finished pics.

coming from you Rolf that means alot to me. thanks so much. I would be interested in painting anyones blaster for very cheap if anyones interested. In the states shipping is no problem but certain countries would need to be researched and by cheap I mean it.

Congrats bro! I'm still working on mine, be there soon.

Iconoclasta_88(Juan) asked if I would post a tutorial so here it is. I first painted the whole blaster with flat black spray paint and let it dry overnight. Then you use a 1" semi-stiff bristle brush and Rub-N-Buff metallizer squeeze out a very, very small dab on a paper plate,this stuff dries out fast and alittle goes a LONG way. brush it up and then brush it onto a rag until it's almost totally dry Here before metalizing, well there is some on it but I rubbed most off to demonstrate, it will be totally black to begin with do a test on something else to see how dry the brush is, it will need to be very dry or it will leave way too much on the surface.lightly brush the surface all over being sure to get all the raised details and the broad flat ares too.JUST DONT GO OVERBOARD YOU WANT TO BRING OUT THE FEEL OF THE SURFACE NOT PAINT IT SILVER. after metalizing... This stuff dries very quickly so no need to wait overnight to move on You need black acrylic paint,water and a soft brush. mix about 3/4oz paint with 1 1/2oz water or where you can still read writing on white paper through the paint any darker you will cover to much and any thinner it will just run off. You just need to brush the black on a section at a time and dab off lightly with a paper towel repeating the process until you like the result be sure to let it dry inbetween coats. you can use a hair dryer to speed the drying. generous coat of thinned black paint... after dabbing with towel... after drying... Painting the bakelite finish on the stock I masked off the blaster then I used Rustoleum satin brown. I sprayed the stock and let it dry overnight. I used the same thinned black acrylic but thinned it 50/50 then brushed it on the stock trying to cover it as quick as I could all over then quickly used a cloth rag to dab at the black to get the mottled look all over. I used the hairdryer to dry it then sealed it with Krylon clearcoat then repeated the process 3 times.It will give a deeper appearance. Next I needed to install the wires around the "T" track first I made some very small "V" cuts in the track Then I cut the small wires for the bottom track, I have a Hyperfirm so the bi-pod wont come off so it's alittle harder to twist the wires but I used a drill bit and drilled a hole through from one side to the other then stuck the wire through... The rest is easy just cut the wires and wrap them around where they go and twist them together on the bottom Take your time with the rub-n-buff step it will make or break your paintjob and again test the drybrush technique on a section and if you go too far use a rag and paint thinner to clean it off and start over. It's only paint! Thanks alot Juan for asking me to do this I am honored to share my work with everyone and humbled by your comments. Woody

That is just fantastic! Thanks so much.

whoa the empire is invading Chicago or Detroit!

Of course you NEED one Jason...We all NEED one!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks alot for the compliments from everyone. I am going to post a tutorial thread tomorrow like Juan asked.

Thanks for the thumbs up now I have to do the other one! LOL!

Thanks alot guys I need to get a black one so if you got an extra let me know.

Thanks Terry I got the original idea to modify them from your thread. The soft ridge was my main focus

The shoulder bells that come with the AM kit are really big an I'm only 5'8" so I needed to cut them down anyway so I dedcided to go a bit further and reshape them and bondo in the very pronounced ridge to better match an ANH derived set. I still need to do the spot putty and I am going to do a more defined crook at the bottom of the ridge.

I weathered my white and orange pauldrons last night here is the result. I wanted the weathering to be a bit different on each one.

I agree! Very nice Gree, Rick!

What! Are the mirrored lenses not correct?
