What can I say, boomstick for the win

 

[Dire]

My chest so far almost done

 

[Dire]

Before I attach everything together on the chest piece here is the "ab plate" I made 20mm thick to give it a nice thick look

 

[Dire]

Alright chest is 98% done, just got to add magnets and a detail piece here and there.

 

[Dire]

After work today, I will be adding magnets and the final few details to my chest, then test fit everything together, I will upload the test fit of course, let you guys see how the base armor ended up like.

 

[Dire]

Couldn't find my magnets so will get done today but got my details, forgot about my pics so will do that today, working on my chest attachment, forearm attachment, and thigh attachment.

 

[Dire]

Decided to not do the test fit until I finish my attachments and well attach them, so here is what I got

 

[Dire]

This took me a while to try and do from game assets but here is the base plate for the tactical soft case. After this post I will be starting on the case itself, while using some of my leather skills

 

[Dire]

Also wanted to post my shin "snap"

 

[Dire]

So I use nylon straps and elastic straps so I can walk with flexibility with snap fasteners to eliminate any discomfort a buckle would have given. At least for me

 

[Dire]

Progress on my soft case, kicking my butt a little bit but proud to announce that all I have left is to wrap my foam shell in some chocolate faux leather, here are my pics

 

[Dire]

And here is the second layer for the "flap"

 

[Dire]

Here is my soft case attached to my thigh with some clothes pins

 

[Dire]

After my faux leather wrap job, I will put the cool "Y" straps on and probably the straps with on the side of the pouch itself

 

[Dire]

This is the straps I am talking about to be clear

 

[Dire]

Sorry about the posts, got carried away and excited about my progress

I love the Y strap. That's going to look awesome.
