this video may give you some ideas. I know its a wood look but I think the technique is valid

That looks like it could work well, I'm not very well versed in wood staining and the right shades to get though.
Me either, I just look at the how they apply the paint and stain in general.

I think I'll look for a reddy brown for the main colour then I can decide whether to use stain or airbrush for the detailing.
If you look at this picture to me I don't see evidence of airbrushing. You can see brush strokes and some chipping effect on the button. I don't know how much the flash is distorting the color.

I've looked online for colours for the base brown, the best find was a Krylon paint but unfortunately it's in America and they don't do Krylon in the UK, I found this European website that does spray paints based of PAL colour codes, some of the brown shades look very promising for the RED Brown Base.

From the website I linked I think I've found the 3 best candidates for the Base Brown.
(Left to Right) RAL 8012 Red Brown, RAL 8015 Chestnut Brown and RAL 8016 Mahogany Brown
(Left to Right) RAL 8012 Red Brown, RAL 8015 Chestnut Brown and RAL 8016 Mahogany Brown
I would say 1 or maybe 2.

Hey guys! I was just looking through the upcoming propstore auction and they had these amazing photos of the screen used pouches! I compiled them into an Imgur album
There's more pictures in the album than the preview shows

Thank You, these are great pictures, I've never seen pouches with gold buttons before.
Looks like the first version of them. maybe only used for promo shots?

I think something interesting to note is just how clean the pouches looked by the end of the prequel era. Like the ones for the first movie while still good looking, but you can tell on the hinge attachment how sloppily it was attached. Vs how precise the clip and hinges were attached to the RoTS box

Updated first post with quick pics of the pouches on a galaxys edge belt and obi so you can get a better idea of how they pair with the costume.
Maaaan I was looking at those on the auction as well. janglesworthy I’m down for an Obi set if you decide to make some like those RotS ones that open. Hinges and clips not included I think I could definitely manage.
So I took one of my failed prints I wasn't happy with and used it as a tester. The black is way too dark and needs to be thinned, and brush stroking on the base color was not a good idea. But I think it's a simple process of just 1 color, seal, dry brush and done. The next one will be better.

It looks great!, I can't wait to see the next one.
Here is my first test on a failed tall pouch test. All I did on this one was, primer, seal, black, seal, done.

Looks Amazing!
full set first run test paint. The small pouch I went brown just to see how it works.
