Admiral Ackbar belt

[EyeintheSky]

In order to complete my Admiral Ackbar costume, I'm looking in the web for reference pictures of the side parts of the Admiral belt, with not too much success, unfortunately.
The only good picture I found is the following one (tnx to Korbanth!):

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how accurate the Gentle Giant bust of Ackbar is, but here is a picture.

Compared to their hands, they sure have little feet.

I'd like to know how they get those skin tight sleeves over those thick arms.

Velcro!

The Disney costume uses plastic soap dishes on the belt.

Thanks you all for the help.
Another reference for the side boxes should be this McQuarrie painting

they seems similar to the movie version.

Sorry, there must be some problems with the hosting site I'm using for my pictures - ImageShack.

What I mean is this painting:

Indeed. And are those Israeli army boots they're wearing?

Glad the photo worked out. I just used a Stormtrooper belt at least for the ackbar belt..I think a leather strap, painted white, with those soap boxes painted white, just might do the trick. Here are some photos of the latex ackbar head and hands and the outfit, my seamstress made...

Nah, looks like those Sierra sneakers that were also the base for the Biker Scout boots. Similar style but a little different.
