I think you may be right, it could do with a little less angle to it. I'll get some strapping on it tomorrow and see what it looks like then.

Based on this last picture i'd possible say it's not long enough. When looking at some of the reference pics when they have their arms holding weapons and in a "readiness" position the back is touching the bicep and wrist/hand plate. So they do look like they are covering the full forearm. I'll try and get one printed and see on my arms - did you do yours at 100%?

I've got one of these for any leather work I do but the rubber was a bit "sticker" to pull it through and to keep the edge smooth and clean. I ended up using a fabric cutting wheel as that made a great groove and running it over it several passes went through in the end but needed the ally bar to act as a guide.

No worries - this first one was a little rough around the edges but I've now got a 2" wide section of aluminium bar to act as a cutting guide. Works perfectly.

More than happy to slice this large slab up, but bring over the pond it probably will cost more to get it to you than it’s worth 😢

Rubber belts done and fits and hangs really nicely.

Yeah the Stock is a Cyma 416/AR15/M4 PDW Stock - there are similar ones but this looks the same as the mud one but also in the reference pics there is a distinct castle nut at the join to the main gun body. This one has that feature 🙂

Think I bought a bit too much rubber.... Got enough to test out creating 80 odd belts!!!!

Are the belt boxes black? in a few shots they look like it but in this close up under the same lighting as the aluminium belt buckle they have the same sheen to them. So to me just look like normal R1 / Andor style boxes.

Totally - from that shot alone it's also very hard to spot if they did the same to the top strap. But it does look like they did it too. They only need to walk for like a few meters but guess even take after take you need to be able to have them functional more these days 😉

Just taking a look at this wide shot of K2 holding the blaster it looks a hell of a lot longer than the close up shot. The red part is the magazine slot and then there is some barrel up to what I think was the nut before the e11 shroud starts. It does look a lot longer and thus probably a normal e11 shroud length. So i'll try work out how to get the bit at the bottom mounted to it all. This angle from the hospital show it more full length as well starting just after the webbing toggle: For the scopes this is a better angle to show how they look really offset from the main body of the weapon - at least in this characters loadout.

Good shout on the barrel flip - i'll give it a try to see if i can get it to work. On the stock I've goner real world using a CYMA PDW Stock for M4/AR-15 AEG with a printed adaptor on the back of the MP40 to screw it in to. Once my all metal airsoft turns up I'll try it on that too. One stunt and one hero is what I'm going for. I've asked the prop maker on Insta if they have any info on the scope mount as that's what's baffling me at the moment.

No worries! You probably see it'll be dark enough to stand out from the white leather without the pencil, but that's a good shout i never thought of to darken it up if needed.

Got one half of the leg straps sorted as well. For the reference pictures looks two of the larger Shoretrooper straps on each calf. The lower strap has a visible white buckle hidden behind the normal trooper buckle and then webbing attached to allow for quick suiting up. The upper strap doesn't seem to be done in the same way so this could be more webbing hidden behind the strap and then Velcro used to secure it behind the shin plate. Still testing this one when I get more straps from Mr Paul Shoretrooper.

Stunt version of the weapons coming together nicely - got it confirmed from one of the prop guys it was based on the MP40 as suspected. Still on the hunt for the damn dual scope mount though.

Just thinking on the stitching - most other belts are just grooves along the tops/bottoms so this is probably the same.

Those ribbed rubber drawer liners look like they fit the bill. Only concern is some of the listings on Amazon / ebay etc. are very ambiguous on which direction the grooves go. So may have to end up getting a larger square piece than needed say 2mx2m so the orientation can be played with to cut the strips correctly. Something like this would get up to 4 belts from it or more depending on groove orientation.

Worked on the gun a little from what I can work out so far and until an airsoft MP40 turns up in the post. Designed an adaptor for the rear of the weapon to allow the PDW stock to screw into it to create the extended stock. Noticed the front barrel nut was moved from the base of the barrel to be used at the barrel tip, so took the E11 barrel shroud and cut it down slightly based on one of the officer gripping that part nearly fully to give an indication of a short length. Then added the barrel nut to the end of it. Also added in one of the barrel shroud holes as bung to allow the sight to be printed separately and attached/detached as needed. Hopefully once the airsoft weapon turns up I'll check again for fit. Now to just work on finding the damn dual scope attachments parts....grrrrrrr

The remixes look great. I think looking at some of the screen caps the "rivets" are where they secured the 1" webbing to the gauntlets so probably could be socket head Chicago screws. And with webbing least it's simple buckles to strap these on.

I noticed that too so just modelled my own to be angled and fit in the holes. Happy to share if wanted.

Stating with the easier bits - calling the white leather belt done.

Adding the main weapon on to my build list. Base weapon: Airsoft MP40 Stock: AR15/M4 PDW Stock - with a castle style nut towards the gun screw end Stock to Weapon joiner TBC but probably custom or airsoft adaptor of some type End Barrel: E11 style with custom end tip and Blitzkrieg PTR Spike Front Sight Rest is still being worked on 🙂

I'm with Pyro on the Nylon as it looks more free flowing in the way it hangs and moves onscreen over a stiffer rubber, even if really thin. Took a stab at prototyping the belt boxes too - tested on a 2" webbing belt to try and gauge the size of the belt.
