MP-40 Pouches Weathered

Thanks to TD-8800 for the great tutorial / instructions!
I went about mine a bit differently though.

Of course I removed the small pouch and moved it over a little bit and then sewed it back on.

I cut styrofoam for the insides so they’d keep their shape.

Then, instead of dying them like TD-8800 did, I spray painted them black using a cheap “off brand” spray paint.
They dried REALLY fast.

Next I dunked them a big vat of warm water.

While they were in the water I messed around with the straps… rolling them and bending and twisting them.

Then, while they were still wet, I took them out and stomped them in the dirt.
Literally kicking them and grinding them into the ground!

So the final result is pretty nice I think… don’t you?!
