I'm honored by your confidence and i'll try to give justice to your work.
I'm working on some changes on the documents to include more infos.
thanks again

Hi,
I'm currently working on a 3D model of the belt. I discovered Sketchup few days ago. It was the first time i used it. This is a first try with a pouch .
.
I hope to make an entire belt and attach the file with others documents.

Thanks !

 

[RafalFett]

I love it! Everything looks great!

 

[StrumFett]

Thanks Rafal!
This is a second try with all sewings and better color (in my opinion).
i'm working on the belt...

 

[RafalFett]

The 2nd try is definitely better!

 

[StrumFett]

Some pics of my progress. I have to change color but it's easier to work with a clearest one.

 

[StrumFett]

A little update. Sewings are done (except rectangular ones inside). Starting grommets. Next step is attaching pouches.

 

[StrumFett]

Here's some pics of the belt almost finished (still need to word on grommets and sewings on the back)

The perfect (digital) ESB belt! Now (or whenever possible) on to the physical one...

Not to add to the workload of the amazing stuff going on here, but I wonder if it would be worth it to include a 3D-printable file for the block/shell to wrap the ammo pouch material in for those of us who might want to take a crack at making their own belt...

Hi Necronaut. Thanks for your interest !
I hope i understand what you said (my english is sometimes approximate). I will post patterns for the layer around the block with documents in section 2 ( making a pouch).For those who are interested, i will post my sketchup file.
Some pics of the finished belt.
I will change documents in post #1 with pics of the 3D belt.

UPDATE Post#1 :
New version of the ESB belt (with Rafalfett measurements). More detailed views.
Add link to the sketchup file at the end.
Seems to be the final version

Hi,
Some pics of the ROTJ belt 3D. Need to finish some parts.Real ESB belt and pouches started. Pics will follow.

 

[StrumFett]

Belt finished.
Starting update of the documents in post#1

 

[StrumFett]

ROTJ belt documents final version are in post#1 + sketchup file.

 

[StrumFett]

Just some corrections:

The ROTJ SE has 14 ammo pouches while the ammo belt has a cream-colored and not black velcro:

Correction made. Thanks Rafal! Sorry for the long delay.
