Anyone done Obi EP4 belt?

[Prometheus]

Trying to come up with a non conventional display idea for my Kenobi saber.
Has anyone been able to duplicate Kenobi's EP4 belt accurately?
I know Luke and Han's have been done before...

Dave aka lgtsbr has done one, and a very nice one it was- during the saberbelt days. I am sure he'll post some pics once he's seen this. Pouches and all, very impressive....

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

It's funny, because they kept the saber on the belt between scenes.

With Jim's help, yes it came out ok. I was never a big fan of the way the pouch turned out and I never got around to remaking it. I will have to see what I have uploaded and go from there, it will be later tonight before I can look on my server

Thanks for the pics guys.
Here are some of the pics of the belt from the Sideshow 1/4 scale Kenobi statue taken by one of the members in chinese-starwars.com
I wonder if Sideshow had access to the real thing while developing the scaled down version.

Here are some pics of the belt LgtSbr made for me quite a while ago (almost 2 years). The pics with me wearing the belt are reflections in the mirror so don't freak out if everything appears to be on the wrong side .

Nice.

 

[Darth Kahnt]

I think your rendition is wonderful Dave. Excellent work.

 

[vaderdarth]

I have one of his fine belts.......I can't say enough good things. I don't have pics, but it looks identical to the ones in the pics.

I am also interested in knowing this as I'll be wearing an Obi Ep IV costume for Halloween next year.

 

[Electronic Lids]

Thats fantastic work Dave, and my God if seeing stills from the movie dosent give me goosebumps.

 

[MandalorFett]

Dave, great work as always. Are you still doing these or any other belts?

:thumbsup
:fettrotj

 

[Ghost Host]

I heard he wasn't, unfortunately. I'm looking at getting the raw materials from Tandy leather and try putting mine together. I'm gonna do an episode 3, ...episode 4 crossover.

 

[TheRealMcFly]

I think the Obi buckle was brass. Anyone have some MoM reference?

 

[lgtsbr]

sorry, I am not doing them at this point. I was never really happy with the pouch and would want to perfect that if I ever got back into it, not to mention I would have no way to sew the pouch together at the moment.

I could probably do the rest of the belt, minus the pouch, but would need to order leather and buckles, I am sure I still have the hardware here as well as saber hooks. I would need 4 or more solid orders for belts before I would do that, and I would only work on OT belts at this point.

GH - sorry I didn't get back to you, I have been pretty busy - I have saber hooks here
