25b Report post Posted December 11, 2015 When people have asked this before, it was suggested they go buy one, take it apart, then you'll have your pattern. And you'd have an intact bladder to use also. If you don't want to buy a new one, you could check thrift stores, used gaming equipment places, garage sales, etc. My time is more valuable than all the time it would take to find a "cheap" one, I'd probably just go with a new one and be done with it.

Nine Report post Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) I think the deconstruction method is the best route. It gives you the pattern and the bladder. Unless your planning on making several. I've made Two. First came out ok. Second didn't line up right or something, the bladder kept wrinkling in the hide(probably due to the fact that i can't cut two much less four things the same.
