Re: Mad Max: Fury Road Costumes Thread
I forget who posted it but the star lumen medical tubing is the way to go if you want that version. I'm working on aging mine. It's more difficult than you think to coil it up the way it is in the movie and cram it under the elastic strap. It may need a little heat to soften it first before wrapping and placement. Just a thought.
Yeah I bought a condor a while back and noticed the larger elastic strap. It also seems very small. I don't know if the 5.11 is the same size but it just seems smaller than what's on screen.I've been having a look at the pistol mag with the tubing again. I know it's been said it's a Condor Mag pouch but when analyzing the details it matches up more to the 5.11 tactical single mag pouch as mentioned by augofett a while back.
Have a look

Take note at the width of the elastics band on both. The Condor seem a bit too wide while the 5.11 looks like an exact match. Also take note of the side. You can see the outline of the molle attachment has spacing between them on the Condor while the the 5.11 matches the Fury Road.
Also with the tubing. It was said they used IV tubing and fish tank tubing but looking at the one in the same picture, this particular vest the tubing has distinctive connectors at the ends. The only tubing I see those connectors on are from medical oxygen tubing. Bonanza also mentioned this a while back.
Here's a comparison.

Some promo photos you don't even see a connector and some photos the tubing looks thinner than the photo above which I suspect are the vests that used the IV or fish tank tubing? They could have also just put the same connectors on the other tubing but I've only have seen these connectors on the oxygen ones while doing a search online.
