Mine's Done, Now to build my brothers!
« on: Jul 01, 2011, 08:06 PM »
So I got my kit approved and know to move onto doing a kit for my bro and expand the merc footprint in tassie  ;D
I've gone with a different design on his to mine - and I think I might do some improvements to mine along the way.
firstly... some raw materials


a few templates...



and something to mount it on...



Followed is some hot action with a heat gun and some vigorous sawing and cutting

Chest plate section


Chest plate in a rough stage


Chest with plate and such rough stuck on to see how it looked together


Back plate looking a bit better


Now to do some more...

Looking good so far, Cogs. I like the shape of the plates, always good to have something different. Should get your bro posting on here :D

You're aware that with that kind of vest it has to be completely covered by plates to pass the CRL's?

you might find that ab plate a tad uncomfortable when you bend over with that point.

Nice. I literally frowned when I saw that molle vest, but you've done the best job I've seen yet using it as a base. Not too shabby. Keep it up.

I want those shins.

I may have a box full (3 sets) coming ;D, Set for Dave and Sarah - this should get both of them ready for approval and some nice new ones for me (although mine will be the last worked on)
