Hey guys & gals
Does anyone have a clue what sideshow or any of the other major manufacturers make there belts from ? Could do with a few stormy utility belts but wouldnt know what to make them from? I wondered if they may be vinyl has anyone ever cast anything like this before & any tips on the best way to do it saw a sandtrooper belt on toy anxiety but need more than 1 any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :wink1:
 
I used leather from Michaels, they have scraps you can buy in all kinds of colors. I you need a templat for the holster I'll post it when I get home.

Yeah sure like to see how you did the box parts on the leather? Or do you mean you made the gun holster with the leather ?

So I'm not crazy! I saw leather at Michael's several times, but passed on buying it because I didn't think I needed it.

Then I realized I did need it, and so far I've checked 2 different stores and couldn't find any leather in either one, for several months now...

I was beginning to think I had just imagined or dreamed it all! :panic:
 
Michaels carries a product line called the 'leather factory' and I think you can buy direct. There is also another leather company called 'Tandy' that might help you.
 
I just went to Michael's today, and actually found the leather in the store! :lol

And all this time I thought I was just going crazy... Don't know why I couldn't find it before. :slap
 
Here is the template. I'm not sure how to make it printable, so if someone can PM me on that I will fix this post.
