Hey folks... I have been off the boards for the most part lately.. just been super busy and not doing much hobby stuff... however.. with the imminent release of the HT Indy I went up in the shop and cut the leather for about a dozen belts.. Due to time constraints I just don't see me doing very many open orders but rather I will build up a handful of belts and then sell them outright once they are done... however I am curious as to what interest is still out there for belts... for right now I am JUST doing belts for the HT Indy (with whip keeper of course) I will not be doing holsters until I have my HT revolver in hand and I can form fit the holsters to the actual gun.... If I were to knock out about 7 or 8 belts this weekend are there any interested parties out there for immediate delivery next week ? (belts run $40 ea.) Just curious...
PLEASE NOTE
My supplier of the 1/6 British respirator bags has run out.. for good.. so I can no longer make the custom sidebags.. unless another dealer unloads a TON of the Did John Coleman sets into loose parts.. (doubtful as that is an OLD set)... sooooo instead I will be doing custom overhauls of the HT bag.. which looks decent but needs some details changed... what I will do is switch out the brass colored attachment rings with accurate steel grey rings and add a leather strap which will be weathered and correctly dyed.. depending on the quality of the HT buckle I may use those or my stock of metal buckles (which are very thin and look better probably).. I plan on doing these alterations for $20 per bag (incl shipping)

) Now that the production photos are out I think it is obvious that we have to work out the kinks for a really good custom Indy... if you want belts and holsters that actually look like the real thing.. then you know where to find me... yes there are other cheaper options out there.. but I strive to achieve screen accuracy with my work... a real detail oriented Indy fan will appreciate the work I do... so I will get to the shop this weekend and start hammering out stuff to fix these HT Indys
