easy pauldron mod

[dashrazor]

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

Smart - and paving the way will be a big help for all ICN's that want to go take their costume to the next level.

Nice mod.

 

But you're now heavier and cannot do Karate moves!

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.
