Looks very similar to the wood and PVC version from the BBC http://www.imperial-fleet.com/bbcforum/viewtopic.php?t=116 Weighing in at 3 pounds, breaks down to two parts to go in your armor tub, a lot more sturdy than vac'forming or foam, and only costs about $30 (that's including the costs of wood and PVC).



Looks like the server for the tutorial pictures is down for the moment, though.

Is that the vac kit from Cushman Paintball? From what I've been told, since it's vac formed a lot of detail is lost (which could be fixed by some added on styrene details); The plastic is .060 so maybe a wooden dowel run inside the full length and some expanding foam filler would be enough to make it sturdier...

If intricate detail is not a big deal to you, it might be the way to go, especially weightwise if you plan on trooping with it...
