Jedi Utility Belt Prop Replica for Obi-Wan Kenobi Costume

[the.rebel.agent]

Hello there.

Here is the first part of this tutorial. I started cutting the leather. I will show you how I did it and some tricks and tools I used for. Always in Spanish, so I encourage you to use babelfish or google. I am sorry.

If you have any question about it, do not hesitate in contact me. The next step is to dye the leather.

Yesterday I dyed and gave texture to the leather. I posted a photo from the original belt to compare it. The photo was supplied by Randy Eveland from EEUU.

Next step, assemble the belt closure. If you have any question about it, do not hesitate in contact me.

Looks great. I always wondered how they added that wavy pattern to the leather.

Here we go again. This time I built the belt closure and prepared the belt strap loops. I applied the flat rivets too. You will see a photo from the original one to compare it. I only have to dye them and they are ready. Next step is the main body.

Hello there. The belt closures are done. I started to work on the main body as you will see here.

Next time, I will apply the velcro and a temporary belt buckle I found. Hope that helps.

Randy,
I am doing only 10 of them. I am planning to keep 2 for me. One for use and one for display. 5 of them are large and 5 of them are M size. I really encourage everyone to try to do them. My tutorial is only a humble guideline.

Ok, as I promised last time, here is the temporary belt buckle assembly. The belt strap is adjustable and the belt buckle removable. ASAP the belt buckle replica is ready I will replace it. But, this one helped me to finish that part of the belt. Next time I will apply the Velcros and the button studs to the main body. I will glue the belt strap to the main body and the belt will be finished.

Chris, I noticed you are so happy about the belt. I really appreciate your kind words. Imagine how will look with the Buckle replica you bought from JediAgent. TERRIFIC. and maybe someday, I will be able to sell the one I am doing. Were you able to shift the belt buckle for the additional one I sent? It looks really good to.

By the way, yesterdat I assisted to a pre-wedding photo session with my girl. I used my avant-premier Obi-Wan Costume I did last year and used my Obi-Wan belt. I put everything on it. resin pouches, capsules, covertecs and worked out great. Hope to get the photos ASAP to show you.

Yeah, I like that I can change the buckles out. A fried and I are doing a lightsaber film sometime in the next couple months. I play a Sith so I have a black belt, but I can just switch out the buckles on this one and lend it to her for the shoot.
