My PR Dredd Pouch Upgrades

[Halo_1]

Greetings Mega City Citizens!

Just wanted to share some upgrades i had done to part of my Planet Replicas suit I purchased last year. And yes, this has all be done with Dan's knowledge.

When i first received the Issued Academy Nylon Pouches, I made the decision to upgrade em to real leather pouches. So I hit my local leather guy, talked over the basic design and got a few ideas in. That said, these were made...

Comparison of the Issued and Upgraded pouch;

And a comparison shot of the IFAK pouch we designed and the replicas from Dreddful's contact that was made available recently:

And just a little background, these were the Issued Pouches:

While the upgrades are still in tanned leather, I'll be having em airbrushed in green and removing the double sided eagle logos from the originals and affixing em onto the upgrades.

More pics to follow once they are finished!

Stay tuned!

Tim.

Really great looking seams!

Yes bro, it's a specific leather green dye.

Unfortunately, my leather guy works with natural leather and he doesn't have that particular green, plus he doesn't use or own an airbrush. Anyhow, this way, i save a little on the final costs.
