Hey Elvis, any tips on belt accessories?

The color of Elvis' flightsuit above is perfect in my opinion.

Thanks man.

Here's waht I did for those who want to do the same.

I used dylon elephant grey.
I put the entire cup in a bowl of 1/6 liter of boiling water.

I dipped the suit and removed it 30sec after.
Don't be afraid the suit will be dark grey. When dry it will have the perfect shade of pearl grey.

Hey Elvis, any tips on belt accessories?

I will post some pics while working on the new one.

You can already buy some leather straps and d-ring on riorondo.com

Thanks for the webpage, looks to be very useful,

I had started making the belt accessories, but looks like I will be starting over

Elvis when you said you used the full cup of dye, did you mean one of these..

 

[elvis1976]

Yup exactly, those are the ones.

 

[elvis1976]

Bascially for the belt this is what you will have to make basically.

So the D-rings www.riorondo.com

Leather laces www.riorondo.com

for the button on the belt hanger I used silver nailheads

for the key hanger I used those ones

 

[Laney74]

Thanks Elvis, informative as always

 

[sparkstron73]

Which size d rings did you use elvis?

Looks good.

 

[karamazov80]

Thanks for the info, Elvis! I would also like to know which size materials I would need from that site.

Seb, could you show us how you did the glove mod? I want to reuse the mattel gloves on a TT knock off

 

[elvis1976]

Thanks for the info, Elvis! I would also like to know which size materials I would need from that site.

3/16"

 

[karamazov80]

Excellent.

 

[MANDO]

Thanks for that, Seb. I think I still have the chain from my TDK Joker somewhere that should work.

 

[karamazov80]

OK, so I've looked through that site Elvis linked to, and I'm not sure that I found =all the parts needed to do the second one here:

Closest I found is this hook:

But seems like it might be too small, and I'm not sure how you would connect one of the D-rings to it on the bottom ring without cutting the ring (but maybe that's what you need to do?). Any suggestions?

I'm also at a loss as to how to handle the gizmo. I keep thinking it's just beyond any custom abilities I might have. If anyone has tips it would be appreciated.

 

[MANDO]

Been asked to make some nametags. What size should they be?

Roughly the size of the SS aviator jumpsuit velcro on the left breast. A mouthful I know.

 

[sparkstron73]

Hrm, let us know how they work sparkstron. I was thinking of going to the Hobby Store to look for something similar.

My paint up of Rocco's Ray. It really is a fine sculpt. Still working on my goggles. Wish they'd hurry up and dry so I could paint them, and get them in place.
