I ordered the black 5.11s. I plan to have them commercially enzyme washed to fade them and go from there.
Is the machete the same in both Predator and Predators?
I know this isn't correct, but this is the closest thing I have found to the correct shotshell panels for Royce. This is maddening.
BLACKHAWK! S.T.R.I.K.E. Shotgun 18rnd Vertical Pouch - BLACKHAWK!

Hey bud! I wondered when you would show up! You definitely have the best Royce I have seen to date and I appreciate all your input on this effort. Your costume is what has inspired me!
Like, you, while it seems odd that they would make custom shotshell panels, I am leaning more and more in that direction myself... Just seems odd since EVERYTHING else is unmodified and found (I still haven't found the AA12 drum pouch either).
So for anyone who doesn't know, Condor seems to be a poor man's copy of Blackhawk and while Blackhawk seems to be superior in build, it seems that primarily Condor was used for Royce (not sure why).
On the shotshell carriers, I am almost convinced they are custom made although there is a part of me that wonders if they are part of a shotgun sling... the padded part that a strap like sling feeds through. I say this because they appear to be padded to me, almost puffy while all the shotshell panels I see for sale are flat. Additionally, the knife seems to go down INTO the panel as opposed to behind the panel, again making me wonder if there is a slot all the way through that a strap would feed through. I haven't found anything to match but it is at least food for thought.
Nice thread! I'm actually waiting on delivery of one of the rubber stunt versions of Terry Crew's AA-12 shotgun from THE EXPENDABLES. From this I'm planning on making a replica of the camo-taped version that Brody uses in PREDATORS.
The holster is Blackhawk;
Which blackhawk model? The STRIKE and OMEGA 6 look similar but they have different leg/thigh straps, the buckles on the production shots are black/od in lieu of the tan that's on the Condor I have but the grey traction stripes match perfectly as does the length.
Maybe the shell drum mag holder is a blackhawk bit if they went with that for the leg? Condor knocks off blackhawk so it may be really hard to tell in some cases unless we get some real detail shots.
Ooh, nice. When you do that would you be willing to pm dimensions? I worked mine up by eyeball and I know a few items are off. I'd love to do a decent cast of it that could conceivably fit an airsoft in a hollow body.
