I need a new backpack and I am looking at the SF sabre 45

[philipb]

can anyone tell me how to mould the back plate

well the typhon pattern side pouches seem to be out of stock everywhere but here is my pack with my army issue side pouches attached. The are 100% compatible if anyone had any doubts

one can of black and one can of grey spray paint later they are a closer match

I do like that pattern it has an Urban meets Alien Death Ray kind of vibe
How did you create it?

many thanks.

not my idea I found the technique from a you tube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw6Tsgoj8VE
I gave the pouches a grey coat and then used a net as a paint mask and sprayed the whole thing black. I then used a small hole net bag as a mask together with some a4 paper shapes to add high and low lights. I have a bad habit of not letting paint dry properly between coats but in this case it helped merge the two colours nicely reducing hard edges

I did it as a bit of fun more than anything. If the original pouches ever come back into stock I will still probably buy a set.
