Ah yes. The silver maple is done shedding, the weather is beginning to cooperate and I am ready! I must apologize for the delay. between high humid weather, windy weather and rain, this project has been stalled until now. I am still lacking in supplies like straps, padding, canvas or some other soft fabric, buckles, those plastic buckle slide thingies (?), and shoulder straps with padding. On top of that, boots.
For the soft armor that is under the hard armor, I was planning on using either a real airsoft vest or just some fabric with stuffing with thin plasticard parts for the spine. I wish I could get all of the pouches and gear but money is short. I will have to declare the build finished when the pepakura parts have been painted and the straps attached. On top of that, I still haven't checked out the 'local' surplus store. So wish me luck guys/ gals and god bless our troops. Amen.
