Awesome reference photos for that belt. Any chance I can get a PDF of that scan you did for the belt. I wanna try my hand at some leatherwork.

Great details on that belt. Very interested to see your future progress.
Really shows how committed Marvel is to the details, you BARELY see the belt for most of the film, but it's clearly a very intricate design.

This, as well as the custom belt are things I've not crossed the bridge on for my build of the same outfit, so I'm intrigued as to how you're going about doing this part. By the way, you mentioned Tandy Leather - check your in box

On the third picture, I'm looking at how they put the texture on the jacket....is that silk screened, do you think? Also, for those of us who get the jacket, it looks like we get to cut it off at the waist and add a few diagonal lines...to say nothing of a brass toothed dry suit zipper....

Tell me you picked up two blasters, heh! Do you plan to mod them to make them more screen accurate? You'll notice that the top/bottom rail covers are split to accommodate the cocking mechanism. Here, check this image I took while taking mine apart...
<---everything you need removed is to the left of the major components, btw...I'm still looking for a way, (other than Fiberglas), to fill that gap for the top rail cover and also to join the two pieces of the bottom one. For reference, I did a little math and came up with this;
<---note that there is no gap on the rail covers So far as the studs for the back of the boot & the rivets, can you please tell me what the stock numbers are on all this stuff? Tandy it a little far for a casual drive to pick it up and I may wind up ordering it, (and more leather; see image below), instead...

Thanks everyone I will be keeping an up to date progress as I go. Staar Lord Maan I will get you the part numbers and number for the tools later tonight. Around 9 pm PST or so. I will be modifying my blasters and slimming them up and adding the nose peace and filling in that gap. As the nerf gun version its fatter then the movie prop. I already gutted the insides as there is no second trigger. My tandy is 15 min from were I work and can visit during my lunch break well I get a 4 day weekend so hopefully I can get a lot done by then end

Staar Lord Maan, The model Tandy Leather number the studs on the back of the boot that i got is 1309-02, you will also need the stud anvil 8112-00, buttonhole punch 3779-05 and hole punch 3777-02. Note that the studs are not cheap, and you will need alot of them i think 28

I look forward to a play by play on your blasters. I'm considering having them 3D printed through a site I found called 3D HUB. Here is that link if you're interested in getting the holster clips done that way.
Hi everyone,
Here is an image of my Cad line work from my hand sketch. The right side of the buckle is mirror image but the wing tab is mounted underneth another peace that goes back behind the buckel

Are you going to release this as a printable version?
Once i get it all dailed in i will release a PDF and CAD file, i made this as a 38in tight fit with 4 hole 1inch apart to 42in
Oh and when i was at the leather shop friday, i was talking to old guy there, nice guy, back in the day he was good friends with the man that made the casted mold of all the guns in the original star wars movies. That was a treat to talk with him
Im going to start the buckle tomorrow, i will create a clay model then bake it, then i will make a negative silicone mold then cast it in resin. The above blank buckle i will not use, i will weld some metal together to make the loops on the back side.

Ok here is a picture of me in the templete i printed this morning. I took front, side and back picture. Im pretty pleased how it came out. As you can see in the reference photo, there is a slight arch on the top of the belt, and the other 2 arrows point is the back point that sits behind the blaster holster. The rings line up to the middle of the front pockets.
Ok now i have my pattern i like its off to the garage to make the rings, and mounting ring for the front buckel. As soon as i found how i can upload the PDF files of this i will post it. I made the PDFs so that anyone can print it from an 8.5x11 printer.
P.S. i still have 10 more lbs to lose LOL i have been working out for the last 3 weeks and lost 10lb, so just 10 more to go

Can you email it to me if I pm you my email?
Ok so i worked on my D-rings this mid morning and afternoon. I made them out of steel as thats all i had. I painted them a flat black then sanded them down to give a worn look. I had to give them a clear coat to protect the steel from rust.
Well i made my legs so i had a more solid surface to make my patterns with. I also tested my leather and contact cement and edge dye. All is a go. I may want to thicken my legs a bit to accommidate the pants, i did model them with opening of my cowboy boots i hav

Decided to use the stock shoes midway? Lol
And how did you make the diamond shaped d-rings for the belt?
And how did you make the diamond shaped d-rings for the belt?
Nope, im leaving the stetched leather on, i will skin new leather over the shoes. I do have to remove anything that would show through the new skin AKA the piping down the front. And any areas that have a dip i will contact cement filler leather.
For my d-rings i used some scrap steel i had around the house, i made each in 2 parts for ease of cutting the shape, then i jointed the 2 half's and welded them, grid them down smooth then sprayed them flat black. After they dried i sanded the black down so to leave a little bit left for the worn look.

Awesome! Wish I had those tools available! I have no idea what I'm going to do for that piece
Ok progress update. I worked on my buckle this weekend. I also made the form sides for the silicone rubber, so i can make a cast. This is my first time sculpting in clay. My first attempt i was not happy with so i created a new one. I also made couple slight adjustments to the belt and hopefully i can start cutting the leather next weekend.
The top one is my first one, bottom is my final clay.

Nice, I've been looking to make some of those triangle rings for my belt. They look awesome! What thickness steel did you use for it?
First time sculpting clay?? C'mon...stop lying!
Looking good! Can't wait to see what your cast looks like. I tried working with clay as well. Mine didn't come out nearly as good as yours...so I am ending up buying one from one of the runs on this site.
