Hmmmmmmmm! Dunno yet buddy I was just gonna make a few 1/6 belts and wrap them around.
What would you suggest buddy?

I made my own leather straps by cutting thin strips from leather.
3 of the straps were cut to 3mm, and 2 of them were cut to 4mm.
A 1/8 buckle worked for all of them.

Here is a crude prototype I was working on last year -

Here is an Inch - mm conversion table for you -

1" = 25.4mm
1/2" = 12.70mm

1/4" = 6.35mm
3/4" = 19.05mm

1/8" = 3.17mm
3/8 = 9.52mm
5/8" = 15.87mm
7/8" = 22.22mm

1/16" = 1.58mm
3/16" = 4.76mm
5/16" = 7.93mm
7/16" = 11.11mm
9/16" = 14.28mm
11/16" = 17.46mm
13/16" = 20.63mm
15/16" = 23.81mm

1/32" = 0.79mm
3/32" = 2.38mm
5/32" = 3.96mm
7/32" = 5.55mm
9/32" = 7.14mm
11/32" = 8.73mm
13/32" = 10.31mm
15/32" = 11.90mm
17/32" = 13.49mm
19/32" = 15.08mm
21/32" = 16.66mm
23/32" = 18.25mm
25/32" = 19.84mm
27/32" = 21.43mm
29/32" = 23.01mm
31/32" = 24.60mm

This really should be a sticky thread... I thought it was, but now it is

 

[galactiboy]

And speaking of bits... what is the general size of nail head people use for buttons? I see 1.5mm, 3mm and 5mm but not sure which one is a good general size for 1/6.

 

[robbiethepainter]

Find one in real life and measure it. Then divide by six. perfect every time.

I used 2mm nailheads for my Jason Part III shirt (these: link), and they look great. As robbie said, that would equate to 1.2 cm in 1:1, which seems about right.

such a simple idea... and I use it for everything else, but didn't occur to me to do it with a button

Thanks... and I'm actually using it in a Jason shirt

hello, I'm new collector I'm customizing my 1/6 joker head, I'm trying to add real hair on his sculpt, unfortunately I couldn't find the green tone as I expected so I bought brown hair. I've only one question: how could I paint the hair? which kind of color can I use ?

THANK YOU

You need to get blonde mohair off eBay and then dye it . that is the only way you will achieve the correct color.

Does anyone know where to buy some small plastic clip buckles , similar to the type used for military holsters etc ?

There are lots of methods for hair rooting, some methods work better that others on particular sculpts. I've tried it a couple of times on 1/6 heads with mixed results, but to get you started take a look at how I do it and maybe tweak the process to suit what you want to achieve. Here's a bit of a step-by-step that I posted on OSW a while back: https://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/sixth-scale-action-figure-news-reviews-discussion/850761-tutorial-applying-hair-1-6-rambo-head.html

Hope it?s ok to post this here.

Can anyone suggest a good varnish/sealant for figures?
I was using Testors Dullcote which I found worked well, but I can?t for the life of me find it in stores anymore.

Also have Vallejo Matt varnish but I hate it. Smells awful.
