mrbungle Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 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.

mrbungle Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 here are the belt buckles for the boot armor i made. the parts are made from a scrap piece of roof flashing. i made the greebs to be glued on the flashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbungle Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 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.

Holdfast Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 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?

mrbungle Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 thanks i would be worried about the pattern not being supported until you glue it to the black belt. if rubber is not a solid piece it tears very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbungle Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 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.
