RoCKo Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 hey gang, i finished my shoulder pouch and want you to tell me what do you think about it... i used one of the well known swedish mp38/40 pouches for the main pouch and a k98 reproduction pouch for the small tool pouch. i can make a tutorial with a parts list and some pictures if someone is interested. it was a bit of work. the most painful thing was to add some stichings without the right tools and materials. man, my thumb still hurts a little... but it was also a lot of fun... i will add some minor details in the near future and of course i will add some weathering to give it the right colors and tone compared to my armor weathering... now, here it is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Most impressive! You should add a small slot just above the top of the tool pouch, then the strap from above can pass through it. The originals all appear to have had this. It also helps secure the tool pouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 thanks for that input, seth! i will add it tomorrow! i´ve seen reference pictures of these kinda pouches over and over but i still missed this small slot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I missed it for a long time as well. The slot is not visible in most straight-on shots, but I saw one from the top/side and you could see the strap tucking into the triange part on the back of the tool pouch. I love the stitching!

TD9009 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Nice work! Look here for some pictures of a real MP38/40 leather pouch http://www.sandtrooper.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1022 Ciao, Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Andrews Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Looks very nice. I have often thought about having a leather pouch built from scratch based on the canvas pouch so the build would be accurate but the material would look more like what people expect to see at an event.

RoCKo Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 THANKS! @ Brak´sBuddy you know that your armor and mark´s new sandtrooper armor was and is still my reference while trying to build my own screenaccurate armor. while i was happy with my Movie-FX armor within the last years i will try to reach the next level... in the next few month there will be a lot of work for me building my new sandtrooper armor. the raw parts are still waiting to be cut and sanded. i spend the last weeks searching for as much reference pictures as i could find to get the markings where to cut my new armor. your reference CD and your 70mm CD was a great source for me! isn´t your shoulder pouch made of leather??? i think it looks perfect! btw.: i used a replica canvas pouch for the strips and even left the most stichings in place so i just had to glue it on the swedish leather pouch. i added some more stichings to get a better overall effect!
