Finally got to work on some soft parts because I was off yesterday. The armor is progressing but you know how it is when you work on one thing too long and start to lose focus, so I began work on the vest , ammo belt w/ pouches and girth belt. I am thinking of attaching the kama to the girth belt.By the way.. thanx to BatNinja for the templates on the pouches. I made these from his tutorial, my balsa wood was slightly larger than listed on the tutorial so I had to mod them a bit , but I wanted to show some appreciation for those who spend their time trying to help the rest of us.THANX!

I used the same material when i made my very first Fett ammo belt! (still have a ton left too!) Is it from Walmart? This is looking good!
 
I eventually got a real leather belt... the material itself holds up but I found that it was a bit hard to glue down. I should probably have some sort of contact cement instead of craft glue. I have since given that belt away.
 
more progress today, I now have 8 completed ammo pouches , 90% on the belt, I also cut out my kama and got some work done on the girth belt. It is getting pretty late now, so I'll get some pics up tomorrow
 
i made my belt from the exact same material. and i made it from batninjas thread to...

how did your velcro hold up to the weight of the belt?? just wondering
 
I got the "industrial strength" velcro with the sticky back from walmart. It is 1.5 inches wide by 4 inches long,and I put two pieces back to back giving me 8 inches of velcro surface on each end. I stuck the velcro and also sewed it. I actually completed it last night, I'll try and get a couple pics up tonight.
 
Yeah, in short I am working on this and a boba...I feel the need to send money to my grandfather monthly to help out with some expenses and I can't manage both builds anymore. Thanks for the many comments and compliments!
 
understood, sucks to see it go but priorities must be maintained otherwise they wouldn't be priorities! Good luck with the sale.
