Pappy Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Is it just me or this guy wearing the wrong side of his forearm? nevermind,another topiconto the pouch For me maybe its too deep,notice the gap between the bottom button to the flap(??). I dont know,but maybe the one on the screen cap the flap(??) more tucked down. Another one,maybe because it was 'crunched' the top button doesn't looked dead center but lean towards the top. Dont know how to explain it better but i hope you understand Is there anyone had better screen cap? Roger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenthork Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 i think it is near good to me. just maybe two things, look the picture. and are you sure the sides of the pouch is less large than the top? i can't say is it is good or not because don't seen it on the picture only.

woodman Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm not using this one single pic I am using my frame by frame function on the DVD player and the canvas belt is 3 1/2" wide and we know this and the pouch clearly is wider than the belt so 4 1/8" seems right to me. and as for the tapered side of the pouch sure you cant see it in the pic so go watch the roadblock scene and slow-mo the scene. I see it tapering. The strap was too short before now it's too long, I am leaving it and you can trim it to the length you see fit. Remember I am not making these myself just working on the design then handing it off to the maker. I would suggest if it looks off to anyone use the info and make a paper mock-up then hold it to your waist and belt. Being made from paper it is just straight and has no character but transposed in leather it will have the bends and look of the real pouch.

kenthork Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Ok no problem bro, i try to help, i know it is difficult to replicate an ammo pouch seen a few second... on the screen with bad image from 1977. all comments can help you many more i think. i say just my point of view. i find this picture for the side. i tried upgrade it with photoshop for a better view. what did you think?

woodman Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Thanks for the photo, see the side seems to taper in. I have alot of leather ammo pouches for my tusken and Jawa stuff and most taper in as if to fit pointed bullets better so I applied that thought to the pouch. Anyway I paid for the development of the first pouch and now this one so I am staying with this design for my pouch. By no means do I hold any dominion over this pouch and any and all are free to take my findings and contact him to alter them any way you see fit to get a pouch to your liking. I was just trying to help get a source for the pouch out in the open and since JMleather is a friend of mine sending all the work I could his way was a given. I hope you guys will buy a pouch from him and help him out. The reference for the pouch is so limited that making a solid be-all-end-all decision on the details is hard. Thanks for all the comments and help. Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 does anyone have a "cheesegrater" handplate? looks the same length to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 I have a "cheesegrater" but being from an AM kit,which comes with TS plates,standard and cheesegraters, all of the handplates are very large compared to other kits so a comparison is hard there. He is making my pouch right now so I will have them all soon to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 cool...cant wait to see and honestly, what ive seen so far has been better than anything ive ever seen relating to this pouch. did you ever find out if he sells or would sell them on ebay?

sir david Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 i think the jmleather pouch is very nice and well made bro......personally,i think it just needs battering up a bit then they will be harder to tell apart! when i got my 2 leather mp-40 pouches i stood on em to wear them,but the leather is so thick,it didn't touch them!!!!,so i took the studs off them and drove over them a couple of times with my car to "soften them up "..... worked a treat!!!

Scootch Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 It looks very much like an altered Japanese Arisaka ammo pouch. The MP-40 pouches were altered so it is fair to assume there were other altered pouches as well, Look here: http://www.reww2.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_21&products_id=171 And for other good photos look here: http://members.shaw.ca/ursacki/t30pix.htm Scroll down for photos of pouches.

iconoclasta_88 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 That looks amazing! If I had not recently gotten a set of MP40 pouches, I would seriously consider to get this one! Maybe in the future... Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
