Oh NO! Are you serious?! I have been trying to find additional webbing resources, and I haven't found ANYTHING out there.

EBAY has some if you search 1/4" and 1/8" twill tape.

Would anyone know where to source 2mm buttons from? I'm looking for white / khaki / camel brown buttons for my Bill bash.

Fantastic thread, thank you.

I sent goodstuff an email asking for supplier information. Hopefully they can hook me up and at the very least maybe I can supply straps.

Does anyone know where to find these:

They're said to be found in dollar stores but I can't find them anywhere. I need 10-20 of them
They work well in 1:6

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The blue thing is a bracelet. The intent by us customizers it to buy the bracelets, and remove their buckles for 1/6 belts.

I realise that as I would like these as belts too as I'm working on a load of Star Wars customs at the minute and you can never have enough belts.

I wonder would we have any of those braclets here in Europe in our Euro shops (Dollar Stores).

Time to start looking!!!!

The only two sizes I use are 1/16 and 1/8. Anything else is too big for me.

Here is a quick scale reference that I keep close by when working on stuff.

Reality=Scale

2"=12"
1"=6"
1/2"=3"
1/4"=1 1/2"
1/8"=3/4"
1/16"=3/8"

Scroll to the bottom of that page.

This not the rubber/silicone bracelet but the clasps look the same. Looks like they require a min order of 3 and are 3 bucks a piece.

Hope that helps

Thanks but that seems about 3X what they should go for.
