Description
The standard tactical vest used by the Republic military.The vest is made from a durable synthetic fabric.
The vest is closed and fastened by clips at the front and sides and with laces at the sides for size adjustment. The vest features PALS at the front and back for attaching pouches and miscellaneous equipment.
At the bottom of the vest there are clip-fastened straps for attaching to a webbing belt where applicable.
The clips at the front are rated to 20kg of load each for use with easier temporary carrying of weighty objects (e.g. landmines)
The thick straps extending to the back are meant to interface with a standard soldier's pack. The large side clips can also interface with the pack, giving it more stability on the soldier's back. The straps also help in keeping a weapon's butt firmly against the shoulder, not letting it slip towards the chest.
The looping strap at the upper back is the casualty strap, with which a wounded soldier can be more easily dragged out of harm's way
At the top front of the vest there are velcro pads for the soldier's nametag and rank insignia.
The hooks at the shoulders are meant to provide extra stability when carrying a traditional backpack or for weapon slings.

Switched the camo to the m/09 pattern

It's a good design, however, there are way too many buckles. I'm not saying that they are bad, but you need something that you can don and doff pretty damn quick when the need arises. Think of all the situations the wearer could be in. These days many vests are becoming rapid cutaway vests. Like I said before, the design is good, just has a few kinks.

I only can't imagine it in reality. That's in my eyes the most important thing.

You're only 15. Don't worry, you'll be able to think of plenty of things in reality soon enough. Especially if you do military service.

I'll do military service. Here in Germany we've got the choice betwene military ore social service but I'll devintly chose the first one.
But I looked at some pics of real vests an they look in a way diferent wicht I can't realy discribe in English. As u said I'm only 15 ^^'

We also have the same system.
I served for a full year in '07 at the Armored Brigade. Graduated from the Medical NCO training course I/07 in Lahti.
The whole service was a learning experience. Also showed my the not-so-gleamy side of the Finnish army: the conscripts serving 180 and 270 days. Especially in logistics...
Hope you have a better time in whatever arm and unit you serve in.

This is more from the angle of the m/05 Combat Vest ([link] ).jpg) with some features from here and there, including my own experience with the m/85 combat harness (shoulderhooks and cargo clips on the front). The features that came across from your design were the side clips and the pack clips at the shoulders. But I think the features here are basically represented by most combat vest designs produced in the past five years. Don't you think?
Personally, I think your design is closer in principle to this ([link] ), as your design doubles as armor. My vest doesn't.
And remember, we don't plagiarize the world, we take influences from it.

I just meant the fact that after I uploaded a vest design you load up a vest, you use some of my camo and uniform pieces and use yours.^^

I've worked on the design on/off for a bit over a week or so. Been tweaking, fitting it on a mannequin (virtual), making pouches, etc. etc.
When I said you beat me to it, I meant that you had the idea of putting your own vest up in that scale, I'd been working on mine for some days... Felt like you beat me to it.
Your camouflage was an awesome thing to do. I reckoned you might have wanted a neatly tileable version with more detail, so I took some liberties with it: increased a tile and turned blocks to digital dots. And the uniforms you've made with the resources I've made available are awesome. I LOVE COLLABORATION!!
Now I've started conceptuals on a flakvest based on the m/05, with some Interceptor and IOTV features. And I also have a cold weather outfit on the works based on our very own m/05 Pakkaspuku. BS thing that you can't buy it on the civilian market before 2010.
Also working on some camo patterns. m/05 is IMPOSSIBLE to find in large enough samples to tile it, or its derivatives for that matter. Splittertarn-31, MARPAT and CADPAT are in the process of tiling. Just finished the full original tigerstripe pattern (low quality, pls don't lynch me). It is a hassle to find enough samples to build an image where the pattern starts to repeat on itself. There's gaps, different qualities, after making a tile at whatever dimensions, I bring it to my 300x300 tilesize.
Let me propose a Challenge: get a freeware program other than paint (you'll need layering abilities here, trust me), seek out any and all samples of MARPAT and/or CADPAT, and make a 100% accurate tile of said camouflage WITHOUT ANY ANTI-ALIASING. I've got a head start with both, but there's gaping holes in them. After that, make a uniform in my scale in either/both patterns. WHAT SAY YOU!?

I don't say that this kind of "inspiration" is bad it's just interesting.
And it will be kinda hard for me to put much time on such a project like you suggest because I would have to learn a new programm. This is really no good because schools pretty hard right now and I have to think about my grade point average since it's my final year now. But maybe I'll try something similliar in paint as far as possible.

K. But I warn you, either pattern is tough to tile accurately. I've matched up a shot of the back of a CADPAT jacket and some tiles that circle teh webz, and they're only partial.
Too bad, though, that you can't get enthusiasm too clearly through the text. You know Jamie from MB shouting "I LOVE RESULTS"?
Maybe I should make myself a T-shirt spelling "I LOVE COLLAB(ORATION)!"

Nice Idea, but at the moment my grades are a bit more important for my future I think. But I'll try my best at paint.

SHOCK: MARPAT, ACUPAT, NAVPAT and CADPAT are all the same pattern!!!!
Bit of a bitch to clean it pixel by pixel, though, but at least it'll be seven color schemes at once!
Guess the russian pixelpattern'll be easier. Looks like someone made it with paint. No offense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, I didn't know that they are the same. But it must be really hard to see that you've invested much work and it was useless. And I don't think that everything done with paint must be bad ro uncomplex, I've seen so much good work with paint...

What I meant with the Paint reference was that the Russian camo looks like someone just took the spray tool and randomly used it: Khaki background, some green pixels here, some there and some dark green pixels in between. I'll post a cleaned version at some point.

Has this camo a special name, I could just google it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know if it even HAS a name, but I call it RUSPAT.
Found the site just a moment ago again. The camo [link] the article pertaining ALL the new russian uniforms [link] . Their woodland looks too much like ours now! Now we can't tell who we can shoot!

I see, the similarity is really obvious, even though I think you have less brown color in your camo. And now I understand what you mean when you said it's like done in paint.^^ And when having problems to say who's the enemy, let's just hope you never have to.

If Russia continues its hawkish policy (rush to "save" minorities), and start giving passports to russians living in Finland (they're buying land over here for "cottages"), we'll be entering gray phase (period of heightened military readiness and preparation for war). They used the ossetians as an excuse, they will use Crimeans as an excuse, probably russians in the baltic and even HERE as an excuse. Wouldn't be surprised if they use the same excuse with Poland. Or with Kazakhstan to retake Baikonur.
The world got off easy with the Georgian War, but Cold War II is starting up. And it can go WAY south from there: Russia plays the minorities-in-foreign-lands excuse and attacks any of the former USSR states in order to "secure their safety." If it goes against baltics, NATO retaliates, if they go against Ukraine, EU, UN and NATO get pissed and MIGHT retaliate. If they come after us, I doubt NATO would like to take part, and not too sure about EU support. We'll be alone AGAIN, and this time the russians aren't as retardedly stupid as in the Winter War. I'll be willing to bet that Finland can stand alone for two weeks, a month at most, before we start losing. If EU helps (minus nato states) we might stand a chance. I have never trusted russia. And I KNOW in my heart that I will live to see a war involving by beloved country. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I'd be able to fight during that war. It might be my children or grandchildren that come back in boxes.

Yeah I know what you mean, but the Americans are just the same, it's just that they are "at our side". You'd probably think the same about the if they invaded...maybe Sweden or what ever but this isn't that threatening because they are fighting their wars far away while Russia is just at the gates for you. And I absoultely agree that Cold War II is just some steps away. (My tip for apocalypse is year 2057) And I think finland can count on the help of the EU because if Russia attacks this near we won't hold still.

Didn't Sir Isaac Newton calculate that the End of the World as We Know It doesn't happen before 2060?

Dunno, but this is my own tip, maybe because 57 is my fovourite number.^^ But 60 is realistic too. Even though I think the first problems will occure in the 2030's. And in the late 50's there will be the final strike.
