So i have a bit of an update on my helmet and the arm pouch, med kit/ammo pouch.
And I think I'm going to start a new thread for my anti mati rifle and sequoia, what do you all think?
anywho, I found this awesome reproduction pouch of a what i guess was a cartridge pouch that mounted on a belt. I can't say when it was supposed to be from atm lol. but for 20 bucks i figured hey why not, its leather so i can distess it really well, and it'll look just like the pouch from the art.
the pouch you see on his arm. it has what i guess is a first aid symbol so ill have it hold 45-70's plus a few med supplies. but when strapped to my arm it should fit the part very well.
So when i get it distessed and mounted ill update again, I should have the pouches for the rear of my jacket finished then too.
Now, Since i forgot to take pictures of the lights before, and since I made what i think is a pretty ingenious way of powering my helm, I'll kill two birds with one stone. I ended up not having much room for the batteries i would need to power the lights, fan, and voice amp in my helm, so i decided i was going to run a remote power source. I went to an RC hobby store and got some small connectors and a set of larger ones they use for the battery packs and made it so the bottom mask plugs into the top helms wiring, and then ran power from my side hose that feeds into my camel back into the helm. this will run down into one of the rear pouches where i will have a 12v battery pack hard wired to the hose. sounds a little confusing prob, but itll make more sense once i have the pouches made and the battery pack installed and take pics. but for now, here are pics of the setup on the helm/mask combo.
I will paint the plugs so they dont stand out, but i think it will end up working out amazingly. the AN fitting unscrews from the mask because it will permanently be part of my jacket and that is why i have the power source on a plug instead of hard wired.
now for lights!!
the red light is wired to come on with a red light that reflects onto my masks nose piece and then reflects onto the lenses so it glows. I have my hand inside in the second pic to show my fingers all lit up.
and then both together.
So let me know what you guys think. I greatly appreciate the comments and crits, although i havent really gotten any criticism, so i must be doing something right hahaha. Stay tuned for more, and I'm thinking I'm going to try to find a way to COmic Con with this haha.
