Materials that went into the makings of that vest were most likely bought at the best possible price! Shrewd and well done David.

How Ever, the time spent (IE: researching materials, material, fasteners both petroleum based & metal, thread) + effort into fashioning said items (IE: cutting the materials to fit, knowing how to attach/reinforce fasteners, what stiching to use and where) = Big PayPah, Kids!

If it were just a "first year" home economics class 20 minute project then most airsofters would be "welding" their own personalized kits.  Then "sashaying" down the airsoft field runway for "Diamond Dave Dolla Hyde" to proclaim "Eye Candy" over.  

Again, Airsoft is Not an Inexpensive Sport, Reliability + High End Performance = Big PayPah!

Props to you Ganef for your uncanny and jealousey stirring "tailoring" ability, Well Done!

I love my new kit, D Bo!

Anthony wants one, but with the bib sewn on fully.  He never stows it, so the fold issue isn't an. . .issue.

My flight to san fran got cancelled and resceduled for later tonight so I cam home and made this:



And I know very darn well that it is for a M14 and that is why there are .308 rounds on the side, i just mounted it because it looked so darn sexy.





and a full shot with my new finished SPR project.

You know the man is good at what he does (aside from the obvious photgraphic proof) by the fact that, while a flight is delayed he goes home and whips something up.

On the other hand, found an old photo...Here is something I made.
Maybe not high-speed, but very essential.


Note the tactical watch....

Here's something I made earlier today:





It's a utility pouch, measures 7x4.5x2 inches, good size for holding a bag or two of BBs, food, etc. It turned out well for the first pouch I've made.

It's ugly on the inside, mainly because I didn't know what to do with the ends of the cordura and such....




I'm using a Juki TL98E, by no means is it a workhorse, but it works fine.

Pfft.. Jukis.. who wants one of those?

USe edgetape for the inside. I've got plenty of Khaki if you need some, straight from Eagle. Just drop a PM if you need a few yards. Not much though :-X

thanks, pm sent

I havent found a place that sells edge tape in colors other than white or black, though I should've used a strip of the cordura, folded it over, and sewn it so the edges are all nice. but you learn as you go.
