dashrazor Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 i got my custom red pauldron from TK boots and i have to say it is very nice.. but unfortunately i have to hack it up to make it look more like the pauldron in the game bending it without modding is nearly imposable i tried everything i could think of... so i traced the pauldron onto a piece of sheet metal i was then able to figure out the ideal places to make my cuts without them being noticeable... first i removed the velcro straps by drilling out the rivets, then i made 2 cuts on each side whre the old rivet holes were (i cut about 1/4 inch beyond the old holes) then i bent the pauldron down and hot glued it in place after i drilled new rivet holes and put screws in to hold on the velcro straps (this also covers up the cuts ) after that i made a slit in the fabric on the back side of the pauldron (it is glued a bit but soaking in hot water will fix that). i took an old yogurt container and cut a piece out and inserted it between the layers to give the curved look. then i just put black duct tape over the cut and done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 As of today, ICN is the only costume we cover without a single EIB awardee. I'll cover the gold coin + shipping to the first trooper who reaches it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
