Cool, glad to hear progress is being made.
I forgot that my sister in law can sew pretty good, so I asked her if she would sew the INDUSTRIAL Velcro onto my vests, she said why not, so I hope to have my armor on my vests soon.
You got any pics of the purple yet? I really wanna see it.
I plan on working on my gauntlets soon.
Purple...? I posted some pics of the armor from my phone, but I can take some nice ones with a real camera.
silver gauntlets with ur armor would have to look awesome, I think a purple overlay would look pretty good too.
I just painted them silver as the base. I'm going to paint them purple after masking. They will look kinda dorky but I wanna finnish them. I'm stubborn like that.
Any chance I could get ya to bounce me a copy of the pattern you used for your vest? Otherwise I'm gonna have to lay out my duty rig and try to copy it :S .
It depends on who the vest is for. Cos I am pretty small. (I did NOT call you fat, I promise!) But yeah, no problem. Will pics do or do you need templates in a...PDF? is that what it is?
PICS!!!! (And a shebs load off them)
I'm thinking about make shoulder bell holders but for the shins cos they REFUSE to stay shaped...grrr. So I'll hold them in place be shear force. (This is where the spray painting fabrics comes in--see next set of pics)
This is an experiment I had with spray painting the red material. It worked well.
These are my patterns. Yes, that's Mickey Mouse.
Oh, and the second gaunt I hot glued together instead of taped. And once I get more glue then I'll go back and do it to the other one.
