Above: The plain flak jacket is broken up by the addition of the strapping that spans the back of the soldier.
Below: These images show how I went about making the side panels of the flak jacket. Using scale photos I was able to measure and cut sheet plasticine to size and add details like the seams and creases, see image 3.
In image 4 you can see the thin strips that I had cut to act as the straps, these were stippled with a stiff paintbrush (image 5) to give the impression of a velcro style fabirc. Then to finish off, the straps were given a sewn seam style detail with a stainless steel modelling tool (image 6).
