Fox, you beat me to it with a better mod. Good one on the plaster! Even if the plastic shell plate cracks, nothing pours out. Sand is also great. I basically stole tiny rocks from a childs playground and ran home then filled mind. I taped all the sides in case if I fell, the shell would cracking causing rocks to pour.

These mods are a plus because of the weight. Especially on a PC, even with mags and hollow SAPI plates, the shoulder pads feel like it's not really hugging. After putting these weight plates in, they're perfect.

Especially for impressions, they're a plus. Someone lifting your second line would be amazed. With rocks, they weight abour 7 pounds.

Who cares if they're "heavy" ? Don't be a pussy. It's a great workout on the field. :)

I don't suffer from hits, just wondering if other people do.

yea i have a sand filled sapi in the front and a stab vest rear panel in the back of my pc

I got the confirmation that filling those plates with sand is a bad idea. It deforme them and you lose the curve.

And I notice that a lot of people did not get the reason of this mod, or having plates at all. It's not about protecting oneself of BB hits. It's to get a real weight and feel for your loadout.

I'm still debating with myself to do this with my plates. is it really worth it ?

It is!
Worth every pounds!

Then, you decide if you build kit with or without plates.

Wearing them feel like a real rig. Not a toy costume like all those repro kits.

I have actual re-make plates on my front and back, for my condor plate carrier, looking for side plates now. Everyone says I'm crazy but I love the weight.

I use sand instead, it doesn't deform the curve, works pretty well. Just make sure you have a scale with you, because if you fill sand to max, its actually heavier than real SAPI/ESAPI

ToySoldier makes replica side SAPI plates for airsoft.

The best training SAPI plates are made by PointBlank and are made of a high density blue foam which replicates real SAPI plates weight and has the correct curvature.

These trainning plates are unoptainable.
I tried to import them or find a canadian retailer. To no avail.

Same. I found one retailer in Ontario a while back though...

Thanks for posting this, these are great!

I have a set of Level 4 LBA plates but when I do start playing again I think I'm going to buy a set of plastics. Not too much fun lugging them around for the day lol.

honestly my 6094 feels 1000 times better with plates just fills it out and makes it feel more natural.

im going to give the plaster a try how much did you use fox?
