Help with Sweet Tooth costume

[DarthAvarice]

I have a really awesome Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal) mask on the way, and I'm going to attempt to make an accurate as possible costume to go with it. I am having trouble figuring out a couple parts on the leather harness. Specifically the connector parts.

If anybody could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

i would say, at least for the connectors around the center belly ring, use needle and thread to actually connect the leather together than make a simple box with 3d printing or out of some thin eva foam that you paint up and for the rivets you could probably find a button or nail/screw that has the right size. at least thats what i would do myself.

My back up plan is punching holes and using double cap rivets, and possibly bending some aluminum in a box shape.

Saddle Hardware | Tandy Leather This has the bottom pirece.

Metal tube stock , channel stock or 2 pieces of L stock.
Or if you have access to a brake of even a vice, just get some flat stock and bend it.

Some of the other bits you can get at Tandy or even the hardware store.

From the photo it looks like a ranger belt turned 90 degrees. I know tandy has a ranger belt kit, that may get you started. I believe it's all precut and prepunched, but you can always modify the attachments of that smaller inner portion. Not sure if that helps.

It absolutely helps. Thanks for the heads up!
