MiK Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) @Druid799 Nah M80, it’s just from the pile of old duvets that the wife got from her mum as I was asking after material for prototyping before I use the expense stuff - if you check my bandoleer images you will see the Hawaiian duvet I used to get the “kinks” out but the reverse/other side of the jack pattern is plain white and it would’ve looked full 3-K’s Edited May 31, 2021 by MiK Druid799 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyjebus Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 made mag pouch inserts for the ARP9, TM GBB MP7, ACP9K and Vector. I'll probably do the MP5 and Scorpion next. PopRocket123 and GothicGhost 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the goggles part of mask or separate? I would be interested to hear how it performs and maybe commission you to make one for me. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiK Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) @ShamalThe Goggles have had some heavy tweakage to fit around my glasses but my glasses still did the fog thing so I attached a couple of 25mm brushless fans in the corner it’s wired up to a small battery box which I used to tape to the strap but now will Velcro since I have got some for another project and a rechargeable 9v battery from my bass, and when my glasses started to fog at any point I would flick the switch it worked a treat a very very low fan sound - so faint someone stood next to me thought they had a gas leak This was before lock down since I have added the mesh, the goggles came with 3 colour of lens but since these are for indoor I went with the clear. The mesh mask is just a cheap one I got off Amazon with some heavy application of gooooo and it seems sturdy enough - I’ll give it a whirl if the Z-Mart meet up happens in July. Probably cost me £40 in total, but as I had some of the materials anyways it would be closer to £50 from scratch version 2 will be just the cost of goggles.

Fans are the only real solution to fogging, I can sweat up anything less, even dual pane with Revision wipes. Is the mesh hot-melt glued on top of the goggles?

MiK Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 @Rogerborg No matey, this attempt was with lots of Shoe Goo & being clamped up for a couple of days to cure and seems solid enough admittedly I’m not planning on trying to rip them apart for now but I have some Gorilla two part epoxy resin and some JB Weld steel stick ready but I was using the cheapest/already opened first.

MiK Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) So here’s a sneak peak on the work in progress to my new project which I think will surpass my mask/mesh combo hack. It will be designed to go over a pair of Bollé Pilot goggles and snap to the out goggle frame and I’m hoping it will weigh less than the mask/mesh combo (atm it weighs a fuck tonne) Edited June 14, 2021 by MiK Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
