helmet counterweight pouches would probably fit, though they'll require velcro rather than molle.

Lol you're going all out on this fez

No point doing something pointless and silly unless you do it properly

I'm impressed. Pics please!

A single grenade pouch ought to fit.

knocked up some kangaroo pouch inserts out of an old stretch face veil I had lying around. Probably wont work but killed the boredom for an hour

After seeing the Grey Ghost Gear Bandolier (http://www.popularairsoft.com/gear-scout-grey-ghost-gear-bandolier)

I thought I'd like to try and make one for my AK mags.

Admittedly I don't have any experience so it probably won't turn out very well but I have been wanting to try and make some gear such as this for a while and it would work well in any loadout as well as for storage + transportation.

Looked on eBay for some materials (50mm nylon webbing, elastic webbing, buckles...) nothing mil-spec quality but want to do it on a budget.

Let us know how you get on with that, looks like a simple enough project that could save you a fair amount of cash!

If you do something to alter the design you could probably even sell them, maybe add a couple of 1" molle loops along the strap so people could add a radio or something.

I've seen nike running belts which have elastic loops for small bottles of water which I thought you could do this

I bought a hip pad for £10. For that price there's no point in wasting time and possibly money and it not working. As it's also actual issued equipment you know the quality is there too.

I actually thought about doing exactly that since I do have a bit of 1" webbing too.

Thanks man, I'm still not sure how I'll get on but will be fun to try nonetheless and if I made some money out of if that would be great

Got a 2nd hand usb graphics pad. This is my 1st time using one. Could be a lot worse, methinks.​

Hands though. Well, what can I say :lol:​

The torch foregrip for my MP5 arrived

£14 from Taiwangun is quite a good price, the torch is powerful enough to do the job. The lens though was made of very thin glass. I therefore cut several pieces of the clear plastic packaging into disks and used 3 layers of this instead of the glass. It should absorb hits by being able to flex rather than shattering the 1st time it gets hit.

Well, 2 layers doesn't work - the BB's go through. But in doing so they loose enough energy that my torch which i tried this on is still working fine. I bought some cheap 3M protective goggles off fleabay - they're really cheap new. Just haven't got around to cutting the shapes I need yet...

I have the outer layer bulging out a bit, the inner layer bulging in and the middle layer cut slightly smaller so it stays flat. My thinking being that the air gap between the 3 disks will adsorb the impact. It may work, if it doesn't, its unlikely to penetrate all 3 layers. It's possible to get 2-3mm thick polycarbonate sheet for about a fiver if I find I need it.
