quingald finn Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 Made some changes to my cummerbund What you think about it And i gonna have my DPM's talor made (by my mother) pictures will follow
bselphfsu282 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 That's awesome! How did you paint the belt? I was going to do shoulder straps as well, but just not needed once I actually put mine on.
Death Recon Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 That looks great buddy, nice idea with the suspenders... I had a similar idea to add snaps to the top of my cummerbund and the chest area of my BDU's I painted my belt with grey primer then hit each block with a paint brush then coated it all in clear coat, it's dry now and doesn't crack off or stick together
quingald finn Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 That's awesome! How did you paint the belt? I was going to do shoulder straps as well, but just not needed once I actually put mine on. To paint the belt i used a car touchup kit, i didnt clearcoat it yet, i might not even do that so i can touch up pieces when needed. Under the belt which is only attached at the top by stiching i have place looprings on the hips to fasten the drop pouches (picture soon), in the front ill place snaps to attach the codpiece
quingald finn Posted July 15, 2013 Author Posted July 15, 2013 Finished my cummerbund only need to Weather it Like the buckle? made it myself out of aluminium codpiece is covered with fabric and need a coat of paint and camo then that ready too
Death Recon Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Lookin like its coming along really nice. Good job with that buckle, I don't have anything to cut or weld metal
quingald finn Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Ok here we go again, Undersuit redone (custome made) New neckline design New pockets on the New trousers aswell and i done my legarmor for the the left leg, just need to trim and reshap the edges and it will be ready for bondo
comm tech Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Wondering if you had a chance to dye the Suit yet. Really want to see what it looks like dyed
quingald finn Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Wondering if you had a chance to dye the Suit yet. Really want to see what it looks like dyed matter of fact i just did and i was just gonna post some pictures even thou i just got back from CEII i find some time to do some work on my suit and armor (sounds like being a Knight). the green glow is from the green parasol, i think it turned out great nice and dark and i fixed my backpack to the backplate and its aproved by my dog so now im ready for bondo and sanding
comm tech Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Man I thought I put a few tabs through my backplate for the tank attachment, you got me beat. LOL The BDU's look a little light in color from the pics, may be because it is in direct sunlight? They turned out better than I thought, but the brown pattern (camo) should be darker, almost a black. Back assembly looks good.
quingald finn Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 finished my soft armor (just needs weathering) and im quit happy with it
quingald finn Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 im getting ready for paint, wont be long now
quingald finn Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 im almost there just a few more things chrome is gone but will be replaced What you think about the base so far?
Grumpy Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Base color looks good. Belt looks great! I want to see a close up pic of the elbow straps. They look good in the pic!
Admiral Targeta Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 What type of paint did you use for the rubber? Also how is your buckle attached? I tried to E-6000 mine but it will not hold. Thanks.
bselphfsu282 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I put the buckle on with zap-a-gap, and has held pretty well.
quingald finn Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 @admiral Targeta, i made the buckle myself, its made of aluminium and its bolted to the belt with 2 M4 screws in the back and i painted the rubber with a car touchup kit (the paint stays a bit flexible) @ Grumpy here the closeup of the elbow straps
quingald finn Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 first part is Camo'ed and chromed What u think of it
Grumpy Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Hey, thanks for sharing the pics. Looking real good!!
Death Recon Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Is the second picture a flower pot? LoL good job man, I prefer more camo colour myself.
comm tech Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I agree with DR, a little more camo, but good news is it is always easier to add than take away...Trust me on that. LOL
Admiral Targeta Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks Guys! Huge help thanks for that.
quingald finn Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 Thx guys this was just a test piece but ill add some more camo
Death Recon Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Once you get everything finished make sure to weather everything; BDU's, hard/soft armor. It's what really makes everything look perfect
