Pouches - a scratch build using foam


Heatshock

Recommended Posts

I used left over foam from work, but any soft-ish material is good to go

 

measurements from here http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=1651

 

and plans here:

Now remember, the measurements are only a guide, depending on you height and size, you may have to upscale or down scale the pouches to get the right look - go back to your source material!

 

I cut the foam to shape

then you apply the fabric cover. What you should be using is US multicam. I used beige here as I was experimenting

now I glued the backs onto the foam, but the seams were all stitched.

 

measure out the flap in a firmer material - I simply used cardboard

re-cover with fabric again, stitch or glue - up to you. This is what it looked like complete

I up-scaled my boxes slightly in the end, and this time covered the foam with correct multicam cloth

remember the pouches need 'smudging' with misting of white,grey and black

This is pretty awesome way to create this item. A few questions - are you using any stitching at all on the panels to better approximate an actual sewn pouch? What feedback have you received as the ability to "certify" or approve an armor set using this technique?

The pics above are working again, (hurray photobucket?)

I believe using those designs with the dimensions in the CRL you can have a seamstress do them pretty easily, here are the pics:

..and also an alternate route:

I appreciate you sharing. The little watermark in the corner is distracting but I think it should work fantastic
