JB Project/ Ammo Belt!

Oh man! Those look amazing. (y)
Either you've discovered some lost footage showing that Boba had some extra pouches, or you made some spares. :lol:
 
For every belt, I make a few spares. Once I have them all stitched, I pick the best of the bunch, and save the extras for other projects. :)

UPDATE TIME!

As he usually does, my friend Marc proved me wrong by showing me that using a Bostitch machine would be as good as, if not better, than stitching by hand. He did in a matter of minutes what would take me all week. :)

You sayin that you used to do all those BY HAND ?!?!?!?! :eek:

Good lord man, you can't charge for that kind of time :lol:

Either way, looking sweet !

When I was doing vinyl belts, I did use a machine. But I figured Jeremy Bulloch deserved a better belt, so when I decided to use leather, I only planned on stitching enough pouch covers for one belt. But now that it turned out so easy to do on a machine...why stop with one belt? :D
 
And the hits keep on comin'!

Here's the AoSW exhibit belt. How'd we do?

The finished prototype belt pictured above was fitted for a thin mannequin, and still needs some weathering and antiquing. The final assembly will be completed this week!
 
Yes, the final belt will be full ESB. The main difference I can see in the belts themselves is that the ESB belt has 2 grommets instead of 6 for ROTJ. The pouch array is different, too.

Again, the belt shown above is a prototype belt that will probably be discarded. :)

Doing a nice job Batninja! But are you making a ROTJ belt? I believe Jeremy had requested the ESB Version of the costume.

I don't think the ESB and ROTJ are too far off....even more so I think that some of the PrePro images, like the ones in the Star Wars Chronicles Book would be closer to the ESB version.(y)
and don't you have that book eric??? ;)
 
Home stretch!

Here are the 'finished' pics of the belt. I still have to replace the ROTJ main belt with the longer ESB, then add snaps to a couple pouches, then it's off to Spidey-Fett for weathering!

Enjoy!
