devildog2067 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Felt like buying something useless to combat the COVID craziness. Probably doesn't do any better of a job than the hand cut foam I was using before, but it sure looks cool.

Pima Pants Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It must take a steady hand and a sharp razor to cut that foam to fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid a professional outfit to do it. The foam I had before was hand cut with a hot wire foam cutter, and it was perfectly serviceable, but it didn't look like movie assassin kit the way this does.

Fnfalman Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I tried cutting the foam once and said the heck with it. I’m just too lazy to be tacticool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most movie assassins would have forgotten to include the Gerber Multitool and the batteries. Personally I'd F it up by trying to add a space for something I forgot.......

The folks I used (https://mycasebuilder.com/customfoam) have a library of shapes for common guns / mags / etc as well a tool to outline your items (by taking a photo) for stuff they don't have in their shapes library already. I used the library shapes for the AR and 1911 mags, but custom traced everything else. Works pretty well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnfalman Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 This is as tacticool as it gets for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
