My home made Ammo Belt / Interest ? SHIPPING Update

Let me first off apologize for the lack of communication!
It has been a pretty rough month and a half!
I've been Swamped at work, being short people.
My cousin Dies in October, My wifes Grandfather Died last week and today I had to have My 11 year old Rottweiler put to sleep.
What a wonderful start to the Holiday season!!!!!!!!!! :angry
All I'm asking is for everyone to PLEASE be patient. I am Getting these done and out as fast as I can.
I in No Way intend on ripping anyone off.
I get to work at 6:30 in the Morning and get off anywhere from 5:00 to 10:30. We Just finished Inventory and now we have to do individual Cycle count were there are discrepencys. I'm not making Excuses, just informing everyone as to why there has been a lack on my part.
My wife takes care of the shipping since she can make it to the post office while they are still open.
I will make her remember to bring the tracking #'s home from work tomorrow and PM everyone showing shipped that hasen't received it.
You guys have All been Great so far and I apoplogize for letting my communication slip.
It is 10:51pm now and I'm headed upstairs to put in a couple of hours on the remaining belts.
Please everyone Trust me!
If anyone has a problem or complaint, feel free to PM me
or if you would rather, email at reidemiller@everestkc.net
My wife and I share this email account and she checks it daily so it might be easier to get in touch with me there(or her and she can call me at work and then respond to you).
Thanks for everyones Patience and understanding!!!!!
Again, Sorry.

Don't worry about it, man! I'm sure everyone here is just anxious to get their belts because it is such awesome work! I know that everyone will understand what you've been going through, and you have my condolences as well. I can't thank you enough for providing these awesome belts at such a great price, and still keeping great communication (despite your personal business). Keep up the good work, and I'm sure everyone will love their belts, as I know I will love mine!

Take care! :cheers

sorry about to hear about your dog too. Man, I agree with you about the ROUGH MONTH (I was about to say something about it, but you just beat me to it)!

No problem, and we perfectly understand your situation. It's just the thing that some names were marked as SHIPPED and they haven't receive it yet for some reason, that's all.

Just take it easy and don't rush, things are gonna get better really soon...there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

I got my belt today, and :eek:WOW:eek:!! It is absolutely amazing, and HEAVY! I was concerned that, from the pics, it looked like it was a lighter brown than what I needed; but now that it's here and in my hands, I can say that the color is spot-on!

Truly amazing and accurate belt for such a ridiculously low price! Thanks again, Robert! :cheers

I got mine in the mail today. I'm speechless!:eek:

For a vinyl belt (and for the price), it's really accurate and detailed (heavy too). Thanks to reidemiller for a job well done
:)(y), and if you're still waiting for yours, just wait, it will come to you pretty soon.

I plan on misting a little bit of grey and black over the belt, and then using toothpicks to apply the little flecks of white, and all the other little scratches. Usually, I just dip the toothpick about a quarter of an inch into the paint (will probably use vinyl paint for this bad boy), wipe a little excess off, and then drag lightly where I want scrapes and spots of weathering. It usually looks pretty nice when I'm finished. I'll try to post pics when I get it finished, but I don't know when I'll have time to get on it.

Since most of the belts are starting to arrive, anyone care to give tips or tutorials on weathering it?
Thanks!

Click to expand...

I used 60 grit sand paper and sanded the pouch's down being careful not to hit the stitch's and followed with 150 grit sand paper doing the same.

I then dry brushed a couple different shades of brown on it then misted it lightly with some black and I did a little bit of white here and there and that was it.
It came out looking pretty good.

Another tip for the white little scratches...instead of using the normal white paint, find some "TAN" or "FLESH" (the best)colored paint, which I use the Testor's version for the weatheing a little bit, including the must-do black misting, grey and brown.

Sorry for the small pic, but it is the best I can get now without "unveiling" the new display just yet. :) That won't be for a month or two yet.
