GM's First FUlly Functional Fett Ammo Belt !! PICS !

Finally ! After all the talk in the world, I got off my butt and hammered out my first fully functional belt done out of high impact resin/plastic and leather. To keep the symmetry of boxes, my friends from ACME and I designed a box and mold to pull exact castings. They are held close by a powerful magnet and a piece of sticky back metal on the lip. The only alteration I did have to make was to add a screwable post in the back, but it gets hidden in the back so no sweat !

Finally, something we could put keys and money in while conning !! Tons of THANKS TO GATOR Fett for providing the preliminary box for this project.

I am contemplating a small run of these, but they are were a bit more labor intensive than the static belt I made awhile back. I don't know what the price will be, but I WOULD like to get some interest posts to measure though. I would ONLY sell these in finished lots, as in DONE belts first - don't want to get myself in trouble with so much going on in my life right now !

Great idea! Looks fantastic!

Thats some really incredable work. It's nice to see original designs that come from "outside the box"

Thanks guys ! Your compliments serve as an ongoing inspiration to keep at the Fett. I showed these to DGasser today and we started to discuss improvements already !!

Nice :thumbsup Now you can easily carry those miniature airplane sized liquor bottles, or some snack size candy bars. :lol

HEY ! now you're talking !! Jack and Fett please :)

sweet lookin pouches mang,

I have a quick question for ya, cause im in the process of doing up a functional belt as well. Did u use "double" threads for the stiching? Im asking that because im only using one thread for my flaps and i noticed that yours look alot thicker.

also what are u using for ur boxes what kind of material? is that wood?

for mine im using left over plastic from my Trash can armor and Jet Pack. :P

Dang GM! :suprise

Awesome looking AND functional! Sweet! :thumbsup

Any chance of doing some ESB versions?;)

bah! you stole my magnet idea!!! :);) its a PITA to sew the belt by hand. great job

I used nylon thread, you could pick up at Joann's...you will notice from the get go its pretty thick. I know exactly what you are talking about though. You're using regular old cotton thread, that will break if you stress with leather.

The boxes are high impact resin, so they were poured into a silicone mold :)

thanks man - nope, had the magnet idea before your thread, but was just too lazy to get it going ! I got the idea from a women's bag, don't make any assumptions :lol

Also, hand sewing ? OUCH ! PM me if you need help any -

someone correct me if I am wrong, but aren't ESB's basically the same thing, just a space in the middle ?

There's one less pouch, a few of the pouches have snaps on the flap and the over all all color is dark choc. brown

The belt looks great GM. :thumbsup I had been wondering if you would get around to this project or not. :) Glad to see you put it together. :cheers

BTW, what's the weight difference between the resin base and the aluminum base? The resin looks thinner than the aluminum, so I am guessing it came out lighter.

Looking real good bud, well done

hey man ! bout time you came around ! As far as these versus your aluminum, I would say that believe it or not, your aluminum is actually lighter. Reason being, this is denser resin than usual for toughness.I just don't like working in metal, that's all. Also, we didn't end up using your tube, we ended up making our own from sintra and changing a little of the sizing. So, when I send you a set, at least it will be different in some degree ! Thanks again !

Very nice man!!

Can't wait to see it live.

These looked GREAT in person, even for the first run. It can only get better and they are not to heavy either. SUPERB JOB!!! Got Maul and also impressive the time if took you too!

If the price is right I would like one of these nice belts

****, Somebody beat me to the idea of pouring the boxes out of resin. I have my box "master" done and was going to pour silicone on it this weekend. Great work!!!!

great minds think alike brutha !

:D looks great!!

Whatever happened to these GM??:?

Well done...That's using the ole noodle !

Great job !

a wedding.

that's what happened !! In all seriousness, I was supposed to pick up some resin and the molds this last week but because of (ahem) invitation duty ...things got abruptly stopped...things as in LIFE got halted !

No less, I already made some presewn pieces basically ready for gluing..

thanks christian ! Good to see you're still around !

Very sweet!

would be interested in getting this.

That belt looks suhweeeet!!! I've been trying to get a static belt off of ebay for the longest time. Keep getting outbid at the last minute. Grrrr... but if you do a run of these put me on the list.

I am fully planning a run, but realistically, its probably not going to happen until mid April when I could see past the wedding - thanks for the bumps though !

Hey take your time. We all have lives apart from this hobby, too.

As we all can see from the pics good things come to
those who wait.

Man! Thats the coolest freaking belt i seen!:drool

That's a really nice belt...please considering doing ESB. That would be really nice.
