Hocky Tape & Lego Sail Loadouts

[Meddatron]

The Lego fabric is Microfiber right? Hard to find outside of Lego's? If Either are indeed true, I saw Micro Fiber bed sheets/pillow cases for under $20 in a LTD Commodities catalog.http://www.ltdcommodities.com/catal...e/search/catalog/QueryFormHandler.search.y=12 Colors suck, but figure this fabric could be painted or dyed?

Not the same. The Lego material is rough, and kind of rigid.

Not something you'd want as bedsheets.

 

[Meddatron]

darn, oh well. Just a thought.

Nice! We use the same technique. Except, I use varying plies of masking tape because you know, I'm piss-poor and beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks for posting this. I'll make sure to point people your way when I get asked how I made my vests.

Here's some of what I made in the past:

Adding these pics to this thread, since related. Still a WIP.
Using hockey tape and bracelet material found at walmart. Used the closure from a gi joe vest to make it easier to remove. For the pouches, used a piece of sand paper I wrinkled up, but hockey tape probably better. Not sure how to make that hockey tape seem so solid, more layers?

Nice! I'm going to graduate to adding rings
