I'll probably use that one but I want it thicker/heavier.
Hopefully the salesmen at Stoff & stil have some ideas how to solve that.
Cool! Do you have an article number on that?
And did you check it with the rustoleum paint?
I figured I could sew it like a pillow case to get two layers of fabric. Then it will not be so flimsy.
Wake up little Susie, and smell the fire. Time get building again
Btw I was hurdling some golden girls over at Stoff & Stil this week and picked up that twill material.
I'll probably going to have time to put some claret wine on my hand plates this week.
I can then post some comparison pics for you.

Does your have the white trim?
Probably a slight trapezoid, haven't really checked yet.
No, no white trim (luckily), just the white straps to the clips.
And here's my pauldron after painting. It looks *very* red, but you know how the fabric should look like since it's the same. I think it's quite close. I used a black undercoat to get it a bit darker.
Sweet! Yes, it's quite close. The fabric is a little more to the blue. But this is when you hold them together. When the pauldron and Kama are in their right places I think it will be quite difficult to see that it's not the same color.
I had a small set back on my painting. Tiny little bubbles and twice the drying time. I guess I used too much paint.
Back to sanding...
