Default Re: Warrior's Costume gunbelt construction

Its funny, after searching through some old posts on ASAP, you and I really have crossed paths for years Ed! Its funny how we only recently struck up as friends! While searching some old threads I came across one about the gun belt.

http://www.propreplicas.yuku.com/topic/10578?page=1

An oldie but a goodie. In case anyone can't view that thread the main reason I'm posting a link here is for the Kydex needed to make a holster. You can get it here...

http://www.polymerplastics.com/formingrade_kydex.shtml

I was told in that thread to go with .030" thickness but it was a sort of "this should work" suggestion. I'm still looking to find out what thickness the screen used holsters were.

If you do decide to go this route you'll need a pattern for the holster and you'll have to decide if you're going to go the black Kydex painted brown screen accurate route or just order the Chocolate Kydex. You'll also need a heat gun to form it around your laser. Hope that helps!

I'm still trying to convince a buddy of mine to laser cut some Kydex for me. He does it out of his house and has a bunch of Kydex! I don't want to get everyone's hopes up but definitely keep your fingers crossed.
