JB Project/ Ammo Belt!

[superjedi]

Oh man! Those look amazing.
Either you've discovered some lost footage showing that Boba had some extra pouches, or you made some spares.

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 ?!?!?!?!

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

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?

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!

Nice work! And yeah the machine cab make a whole lot of difference in time.

WOW.....I cant wait to see the finished product

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

 

[batninja]

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.

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.
and don't you have that book eric???

 

[Silver Fett]

Wow eric that ammo belt looks AWESOME!!! Real leather and everthing. Cant wait to see it finished.

 

[batninja]

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!

 

[FettFanatic]
