Title: New idea for ammo box
Post by: HDTM on March 29, 2017, 09:37:50
Hi everyone,
hope you are doing fine  ;D

Lately I've been thinking over and over about my super easy custom redcoats and how to improve them:

basically I just removed the odd white stripes adding a canteen coupled with the pouch/satchel to represent the ammobox:

Sometimes I like to do some "items mining" through the latest playmobil catalogue looking to find new items...and my eyes were caught by this:

This police woman is wearing a nice black purse which I find perfect to use for a new kind of ammo box!

What do you think? Does anyone has it? If so do you think that fits well on male klicky?

Have a nice day  :wave:

Looks good, now if they'd just produce a guitar strap in white or buff instead of blue.

sorry for kicking up this thread HDTM,
but I thought its better I mention to others that there are different lengths of these straps in case anyone is thinking of following your great idea..

the shorter one (54mm), 30215063, I use for binoculars
and the longer one, (67mm), 30073849, for rifles

thank you HDTM!
(I hope you ordered 50 of the longer version....I have little patience when I get an inspiration for a new part, so I often buy more than the quantity I need without ordering 1 piece first....and getting wrong parts or dont fit or are in reality, different from the angled drawings :P)

I wrote to the italian direct service asking infos about the different lenghts before confirming the payment but they did not know anything about lenght :( however I did measure the ones I bought before and the lenght is...6 cm and 7 mm

Fortunately I have plenty of them but unfortunately they are still too short...alas!

What would be long enough for you?
You can order the long white ones, if you're able to conceal the excess in the rear recess of the pouch.....or cut it and heat a new knob? of make a new tight knot before trimming the excess off?

Hi Cheng :)

many thanks for your suggestion, do you have the code for the longer white ones?
I think that the ideal lenght would be 7-8 cm  :wave:

the white strap is 30224433 but looking at it again, I'm not confident of its length....I dont have one but was judging by the image below....please check for yourself....I'm sorry if it turns out not to be any longer

perhaps one of us has one of those sets (5579, 6862, 4898, 9126, 9233) can measure it for HDTM here

and HTDM, do let us know when you know of its length ;)
