TX belt

[mightytank[501st]]

had my personal seamstress who makes my canvas belts sew this up for me

 

 

 

 

 

Its made out of a vinyl like material. Think cat woman costume material, lol.

 

Its reinforced with styrene on the sides for strength when sewing a holster.

 

Will it work?

Pics are a little blurry but it looks ok to me.

[ELP[501st]]

Yea it looks good - try the whole kit on and take a few pics. That'll give you a better idea.

 

Also good thinking ahead about the needed holster support!

 

If it works hopefully you can post a tutorial.

yea that's what you get when you try to take pics on your phone w/ crappy lighting and a baby in one arm! lol

 

And as far as trying the whole kit.. i haven't quite put it together, but when i do, i'll post pics =)

yea i could do that.. i also still have enough material to make about 4 belts. So if they work out, i will have a few for sale till the material runs out.

What does it look like next to the armor? I might be interested in one of the extras.

like this =P

 

 

 

 

 

That's an AM ab plate, and an EFX bucket.

 

The crinkle effect is the only thing i worry about, but it should be pretty snug with the sewed on velcro, and as you can see, pulled out over the ab plate looks good. we'll see.

Nice. Keep me in mind if it works out and you decide to sell them.

Aren't those missing the "boxes" on the front part?

I think you can use it for the lateral/back part of the belt and use the ABS/HIPS front part.

[mightytank[501st]]

Heh, yes they are. you mount the ammo armor on the front of this via rivets, bolts, snaps, velcro, or whatever tickles your fancy. And hang the drop boxes and holster from it too.

 

Its essentially the same as a tk and td upgrading to a canvas belt. But shinier!

Speaking of canvas, is a black canvas belt acceptable for a blackhole trooper or does it need to be a patent leather.

From what I've read, no. but I'd find a more knowledgeable source

[crazas[TX]]

All references so far are gloss black.

The LMO has accepted black canvas belts in the past.
