here is the belt i just pulled. much cleaner than the first pull. i am experimenting alittle to try to get grey bars with a black background, that way we don't have to paint the rubber. you can see in the smaller belt where i added more tint to the rubber. the back of the belt is getting darker compared to the bars on the belt. i think it is possible to get the right look on the belts by playing with the tints added to the rubber. fill in the bars with the gray tinted rubber , then come right on top of it with black tinted rubber.

well , the vac table is up and running. FINALLY!!!! after burning up some plastic and tweeking the table i was able to pull the first test pieces.

 

everything is going pretty smooth now. i just have to do some work on the armor plugs, smooth things out here and there.

 

but overall the project is coming together. i ma going with .090 becuse the 125 stuff is not giving me the detail i want.

Looking awesome there Tom. Just an idea, not being sure about the width or depth of the belt, but instead of doing the 2 colors or painting, would black webbing be able to be glued inside the recessed parts of the belt to give it the right color and texture?

Tom, back to the belt. How much, or what length will be supplied in the kit?

 

 

the length of the belt is 42 inches and comes in 2 parts. the long piece is 32 inches.

here is the boot armor trimed and taped together to get idea of what they will look like. these will be seamless. slide the shin armor on then pull your boots on, then slide the armor down over the boots.

 

the toe armor will be tricky. because it will have to move some to walk. i am going to cut off the bottom buckle on the boots.

 

sorry about the pics , they are taken from a mirror.
