Distressing your MK VII... Dog?

Post by Andy Buse »

Not only do I think my New WPG bag is too dark a new looking, so's my Chihuahua, Spike! I left my WPG bag in the sun after a thurough washing and my dog decided to enjoy the warmth. Hehe, Indiana...

When I saw the word dog in the title I thought that we had another dog attack on someone's gear. :lol:

I won a new WPG bag at the Canada summit that was distressed by Todd at Todd's costumes. It looks incredible. I really have to look close not to mix it up with my original Mark VII.

I wrote a PM to Todd thanking him for donating the bag. I asked him if he was going to start offering the distressed bag for sale.

The bad news is that he said he was not going to offer it for sale, as it takes too much time. The good news is that he is working on a tutorial to show us how he distressed it so well. That will be something that everyone that owns a WPG bag should be looking forward to.

Oooh :shock: , a tutorial would be GREAT! All I'm really doing is leaving my WPG bag in the sun when I'm not using it (sans stratp.)

Buffelhead;
He didn't go to the trenches with it, did he? In that case I'll keep my bag undistressed. 8)
I saw the pics of the bag and I must agree that it looks really good.
Now, I'll also wait for the un-distressing tutorial for worn out bags from 1942 or so. :)

I did that as well, now my bag's color is almost identical to Indy's.

(BTW, you're telling me you didn't bury it?) :shock: :lol:
