NOT YOUR AVERAGE 99CENT TACO

Hi guys and thank you for taking the time to read my thread.
I know this may be not relevant to TDH but my main objective is to praise our own and show the versatility of a true Craftman ....99 cent Taco.


A month or so ago , I approached and comissioned Taco to do a Lara Croft gun belt and harness for my daughter Samantha. I had purchased some items n the past from Taco and honestly believed in his skills.

I live i think I live about 10000 kms or so from Taco, and after only supplying him with a handful of measurement and a couple of pictures, he created an incredible and amazing belt. I will post pics soon.
The pics were updates by Taco, but today i received the real thing, it is a pleasure to see a true craftman create something of high quality and attention to detail, being a tradesman myself , I know what it is to put a lot of pride in your work.
This guy is also courteous , helpful and at all times kept me up to date with all the progress. Every question was address with respect and at no time went unanswered.
I know there may be others out there but I am very happy to commision/subcontract Taco anyday for my future projects and ideas.

My daughter is also excited with her new acquisition ,and being a father ......means the whole world to me :D.

I thank you again Taco for your outstanding work..:cheers
I personally recommend Taco to anyone, not only for Boba gear but basically any leather garment , prop etc.
May I also add that I have never had the pleasure of meeting Taco in person before, so this is an entirely unbiased thread.

Please feel free to comment or add anything if I have forgotten or not said.

Feel also free to comment on the belt itself, I will upload pics soon....

Wow! Those look great. Awesome job taco!

Not to hijack this thread but here's another character ref for taco. I recently purchased one of taco's ESB slings. I've been having some trouble lately with items disappearing from my mail. Unfortunately the sling was one of those items. When I asked him if it had been shipped he assured me that it had. So I told him what had happened and that I would purchase another. I wasn't expecting him to ship another, so I was surprised when one showed up in the mail. So I asked him if he had sent another, and because he felt bad for my loss, he had, and at no cost. He said he didn't think it was right that I had paid for something I didn't get. That is just awesome that someone would actually do something like that in this day and age. I don't think it's is right for him to take a hit because of someone else's stupidity either, so I gladly resent payment. So here's to taco :cheers May your kindness and concern for your customers be rewarded ten fold.

It's also good to read praise and such reassurance on the quality of guys like 99cent tacos work. Credit, where credit is due! And I salute all you guys spending hours of valuable personal time to make things like this for the ones of us that are a little more creatively challenged still.

It really makes choises loads easier for us new guys in here and it just makes me look forward to my ROTj ammobelt even more!!

Thank you very much for your kind words Marcel and to everyone else. I must admit that when Marcel first contact me with this and sent me 4 photos total and his daughters measurements, I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. But I was diggin the holsters. So thats wear I started. I went ahead and purchased the toy gun so that I could get the best fit for the gun. Without it, it would never have fit correctly. I wish I had taken pictures of the whole set up when it was 100% done with the top shoulder straps but my camera was missing in action. I hope you enjoy it Marcel and I hope your daughter enjoys it. Like they said, hope we get to see some real life dress photos. Thanks.
