Well as you know I`ve done a batch of Modern British Troops,some have sculpted on pouch sets (also 2 XD Royal Marines with molded chest rigs) though a lot don`t,they are just in DPM uniforms.
Well I`ve been working on some webbing for my guys. To date i`ve made 6 x PLCE (Personal Load Carrying Equipment) web sets. Also working on 8 x Chest Rigs & 1 x Arktis Assault vest.
Anyway First off the PLCE Webbing sets.
These are made using a LOT of 1/6th scale pieces. The mesh for the rear structure is actually off a 1/6th Aussie SASR vest,the Buckles are the smallest 1/6th ones. The straps are mostly from 1/6th acc`s too.
The pouches are 1/18th molded pouches glued into place. Also the rear 3 pouches are the Big BBI pouch on many of the Modern figures. I dremeled them to give the impression of 3 pouches together.


On a Figure.




Next the Chest Rigs.
I used 1/6th DPM material as the backing for the rigs though still need to add straps & tidy them up. The pouches as you can see are molded ones glued on.

Lastly the Arktis vest. Again using the mesh from the 1/6th Aussie SASR vest & material too. Again with 1/18th molded pouches glued on. Just needs straps added.
As you will see I found a great use for the XD Royal Marine Water pouch I have from 2 RMs.

All need painting in DPM colours once finished though you can see how these will look.
Love to hear what you think.
