Ammo belt....pouch look ok???

Hi, sorry to bother you great people again, but just made my first little pouch for mi ammo belt....do you think it looks ok? It aint finnished yet so...looks a bit messy!!

Thanks Z

Hi
looks like a good start ... are you making them functional ?

Did you use one of the templates available ?

You should insert a wooden block to give it more shape.

Funtional how?? Im going to put some sort of supporting thing in the pouches, i was just worried that they were too big or not right.
I tried using a pattern from someone, but it wasnt right so i made a new one...i did textiles at school so im quite qualified!!
There are 8 in total arent there??? (around the belt?))

Functional in the sense that you can keep stuff in them ...

Return of the jedi Boba Fett has eight and empire strikes back Boba Fett has seven ( I think )...

Rather that wood, some stuff that I found that I use to pad mine out with is some packing used to support a computer in a box.
It's blue in colour and is somewhere between the "consistancy" of foam rubber and polystyrene foam.
It's lightweight, holds it's shape VERY well and cuts with a craft knife like a knife through hot butter.

TK409 has some good templates on his site.. i can really recommend his tutorial..

I recommend the blocks of wood with brown vinyl over them.

Yeah his site has great tutorial on the ammo pouches that I will be using.

I will be adding some sort of supporting thing (not quite sure what) in them, mb just some cardboard, I dont want them to be very heavy.....

I've made 3 now.....im slowly getting there,...though they are all made different....but to be honest...i think it makes it look like Boba made them himself......

I might make one or 2 functional (the best ones anyway) they can keep my beer money in at uni!!!

Here's a picture of the my costume (so far) with the ammo belts. All of mine are functional, and I'm actually glad I made them this way as they were handy to stick things in (such as my keys and such) since I had no where else to stick them. Amazingly enough, my cell phone fit in them perfectly also. If you want a template for these, I could make one up real quick.


If you want a closer up, sent me a PM and I'll send you one.
