    My Attempt at leather mp40 hip pouches

    in Pouches, Pauldrons, and other Accessories

    Posted

    Hi all,

    At some stage in the future I wish to do a move along trooper :td: So I figured I'd have a go at making the pouches as I know I'll need them :P

    I eyed off the dimensions using pictures of Zadokk's pouches as a guide http://forum.mepd.ne...?showtopic=9179

    I still need to find some ball fasteners?? (the brass things that hold down the flappy bits) any help would be nice :)

    I also used this tutorial as a guide on how to make them http://forum.whitear...showtopic=10986, they have the block of wood inside, so I can not put anything in them... but I do like the shape :)

    Total cost to make this so far has been about $1 for the wood, about $15 for the leather and about $4 for two packs of upholstery tacks. I had some contact adhesive laying around so I did not have to buy any of that :P

    The block parts are made from kangaroo leather wrapped around wood (42mmx19mm) and the backing sheet, straps and flappy bits are made from a bit thicker leather. All leather was offcuts from a local leather shop.

    Photos!
