AWHthethird Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 All right y'all my armor should be trimmed by June so it is time I start planning out the details. Here are my questions. 1. Best way to build or acquire a Sandy Sniper Plate. I have no clue since this is my first build. 2. Best way to acquire ammo pouches or spanish pouches 3. Best way to acquire backpack. Yeah this one is probably the second most important. I was looking up tutorials and I was just lost. LOST I SAY. 4. The most important. BEST WAY TO GET DIRTY. I'm looking for a slight sanding look. Like the middle guy walking down the ally. You know? Like sandy but not dark dirt? Am I making sense? OH GOD I AM RAMBLING anyways if y'all could offer any and all advice that would be awesome! OH! Also whats the best way to display and store the armor? Like pvc pipes making a stand or something? THANKS Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inglorious trooper Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 hey andrew juan has given you the start you need,just a couple of things. for mp40 pouches as well as the place stated in the thread you can also check out good army surplus sites,most sell them,as for spanish pouches they are quite rare,i just kept checking sites till one came up on ebay(dont normally advise this place but for a very small ammount of things its usefull). also are you planning on building a pack yourself or buying one already built? good look,i may seem like a minefield at first but with plenty of reading and everyones help it all just comes together(honest)!!

AWHthethird Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 and thanks for the ebay advice! I thought it was good to stay away but im glad there are a few good products. Oh quick question about the small spanish. Would it fit an iphone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 No... the small spanish won't fit an iPhone. It is just the size of a trading card. I keep mine there. The medium will fit an iPhone an many other stuff too. If you find a good source for either medium or small pouches, let us know!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWHthethird Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Maybe I can make a secret pouch under my armor haha that would be nifty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
