My Rick O'Connell, The Mummy outfit & Holster pattern

[joshhalkay]

Excellent work, and great post.

I have resin copies of the revolvers (got them years ago), but have always wanted the holsters...

Where did you get them?

Excellent question - was AGES ago; more than ten years, and was a member here but not a very active member...

A look...

I can only add my compliments to those already offered by more experienced members; I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am by your holster rig, and I'm truly appreciative of the pattern you have so generously provided. For me, there's only one thing missing from the drawing: a scale, to show what 1 inch would be on the diagram. Perhaps it's because I have NO experience in prop-making and there's some sort of unwritten rule that everybody else but me knows! I know each person's body measurements are different, but is there any chance you could tell me one dimension somewhere on the pattern, that I can scale from, just to give me a starting point?

Amazing action photos too, by the way!

Absolutely!

You should scale it to your size, but start with these two measurements to scale it to my size:


Front straps with X stitch on them:

Strap that goes accross back:

Thank you, Mooniteman, that's exactly what I need. I realize that there's going to be a lot of adjustment and fitting involved, especially since we're definitely two quite different builds. I'll be using cheaper materials while I work out a pattern to suit my shape, before I move on to leather, but this at least gives me a starting point. I appreciate the info, along with the excellent pattern!

Glad I could help! Yeah scaling it up and down will totally work outside of the holsters. Those are gonna remain roughly the same. And I didn't include the strap that goes over the shoulder because it seemed kind of redundant. It's just a strap.

I agree, I couldn't see the purpose for that strap either.

This is what originally got me interested in the subject:

Quick pic of some of the hardware and straps because some folks have asked. It's just a variety of rivets from Tandy. Some domed Chicago screws.


Front of the back with domed Chicago screws (More info on Pattern)

Back of the back with domed Chicago screws (More info on Pattern)

Back of the belt with how I attached the single strap that goes across the body.

The Shoulder strap (Which i did not include in the pattern since it seemed very basic and I was lazy.

Front of the belt with D-Ring and brass bar / belt holder I made.

Here is a rough of the cuff pattern for anyone making it. I should draft it up in illustrator:

I will certainly not complain if you made a tracing file.... I might even air hug from afar.

Not good with the hair names but if you hit crunch time, make sure you have the hat for backup.
