I decided to give making the holster from that heat-forming thin plastic sheet (it has a name, which eludes me currently.
I traced the shape of the original for size, then flipped it and traced the shape again and then cut it out, heated it up with a heat gun and moulded it around the PK-D while malleable.
It shaped around really easily, and some spot heating and trimming made a great base that held the weapon in place.
From here I used milliput to give more accurate thickness and added the details in. Then some light sanding to even out the surfaces and details and gave it a test base coat.
Looking good so far.
Will be glueing in some cotton for all the stitching work after the final painting is done and will share my (hopefully decent) results soon as It's done.

I used the second head on my old Redman ...
You found the perfect lighting to capture the paintwork!
That's the holy grail I could never get close to.

Mine arrived today. Yeah ok it isn’t perfect I agree, however straight out of the box it scores a positive 9/10 for me. A few tweaks here and there and he’ll be perfect - for me. The head sculpt and paint apps are pretty good in my opinion, looks like Mr Ford - I mean Deckard…

You're pictures did this figure justice all that shades and textures and paint apps were all apparent. bravo.

Not a fan of the holster he came with. I still have the one from the good old Blade Hunter. It's plastic & it's black but it fits nicely. A custom made holster is probably the way to go... but it's fine for now.

Got mine today. Finally a Deckard! Might improve the holster, belt one day. Maybe the collar of the jacket under the coat. But that's a big maybe. Really happy with it. KGhobby managed to sent it to me without custom charges.

And then I saw this Pic. Belt looks fine to me... A bit of coloring maybe to make it less white.
My Deckard has finally made it into the U.S. (Chicago). Tracker shows expected delivery on Wednesday.
Same here. Finally I can see him in person! LOL!
Still waiting here, tracking says

This holster took a lot longer than I'd hoped, it's still a bit messy, but my third attempt to get the stitching on was where I drew the line. It's servicable, works and is reasonably accurate. I didn't do the top part of it as accurately as I thought, but decided I can be happy with the inaccuracy. It's a step up from what it comes with, and that'll do me until there's a mass produced replacement that pushes the accuracy further than this one.
Some natural lighting shots. Nearly done with painting the head, some more details and the hair still to be done, but managed to get some stubble and got him a little younger than my previous effort.
Still a lot of clothing work to be done, but he's looking pretty close to what I need to be happy.
