Most foams are going to have a lot of open cells which will hurt the final look. You could go with L200 foam, it has smaller cell patterns (rigidity), but is tough to source and pricey. I think this is why leather or the secondary market here or on the MIPD site is he way most go for their TD's and HWT's.

Foam is not an accepted option for approval. I'd hate to see you do all this work and not be able to be approved.

Made by hand for under $5. Found a basic layout pattern of this pouch & used some cut pieces of Styrofoam board for filler and basic look alike leather material. Lots of glue and a clip strap to secure it.

For $5 thats amazing. I am looking at MP40 replica pouches on ebay. debating whether I should or not. Im not even making a sandtrooper. I was just think the black Pauldron would look cool on its own with the armour like the Storms in Star Wars Rebels. Already bought a black pauldron but damn it seems too small and I thought an ammo pouch might work to cover up the left shoulder a bit. I might go for your method. But maybe I should wait til I actually get my pre-orderd armour.

If you go to MEPD they have several tutorials and such on this.
