RCMUSTANG[501st] Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Hey, all. This will be my first thread here. I bought Mike's (Trooperbay) pauldron and wanted the ability to do all three rank/colors without having to buy 3 pauldrons. So, I came up with this idea. <br><br> I used a piece of 22 gauge sheet metal and made a base for the black color. I shaped it as close as possible over my leg. Painted it black and glued it to the pauldron. Then I used magnetic vinyl sheet to do the white and red. As it already came in white that was simple enough to trace and cut. Done. Made a second one and painted it with the Colonial Red Rustoleum. Now it's a simple matter of attaching the white or red over the black and you have all the in one. And I'm using a simple velcro strap to hold it in place on the shoulder. If the weight is a little too much I will add a small strap to the pauldron at the front of the neck and connect it to the inside of the chest armor.
