Tags Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 So I have a lead on the armor, so I was wondering if anyone had some tips on the soft parts and cammo. Someone mentioned BDU's, in some countries pattern, dunno which country though. So what do other people do about the cammo pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 right now we use british desert DMP , dyed brown then black. then you have to modify the thigh pockets and add a riding patch. look through the sections because most of the answers you seek are there. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tags Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I presume the "riding patch" is the white bit you out in the crotch area... How exactly is the pocket modified? Ok, from what I have seen on the other Kasshyyyk troopers and read, the thigh pockets have to moved to be on top of the leg, what about the shape however, from the pics I saw the pocket seemed more ridged. So you just seam rip the pocket and move or do you have to rebuild the whole thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonescout Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Here are mine as I used a seam ripper to remove the existing pockets form the pants and have my seamstress create new ones and the pockets sit on my thigh. Currently I keep foam in them so they stay square Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tags Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Looks pretty straight fore ward, removing the pockets will be easy, making new ones... not so much. Dunno anyone who can make them, is it possible to re-use the existing pocket and just move it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 you use the material from the moved pocket to make the new pocket, which is smaller than the original pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tags Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 you use the material from the moved pocket to make the new pocket, which is smaller than the original pocket. Let me see if I understand, take the old pocket off, and use it to make a new one, just smaller. And a block of foam should keep it ridged. Is the cover flap changed in anyway?

Can anyone be more specific, Rit has allot of variations on brown. ; / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunnel Rat Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hey all I am new here doing research for a KT. Apon reading the boards and all I have a question about the cammo pattern without having to use dye. The question, is it accecptable to use the NEW US ARMY Multi-Cam Uni? It looks alot like the British Camo but darker. Just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hey all I am new here doing research for a KT. Apon reading the boards and all I have a question about the cammo pattern without having to use dye. The question, is it accecptable to use the NEW US ARMY Multi-Cam Uni? It looks alot like the British Camo but darker. Just wondering While I'm not working on a KT, I'm not sure MultiCam will work as well. The Desert DPM that's being used is only 2 colours whereas Multicam has 4 or 5 colours. If you've got some material to test, I'd say go for it and let everyone know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 no, multi-cam will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw nostradamus Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'm having difficulty tracking down British DPM in my size so I just bought tan desert pants and a shirt and am recreating the "accepted" camo pattern with permanent fabric paint, then dying them.
