4505Marcel Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I would use a plastic weld to attach the belt sections, failing that a couple of small rivits, I wish id have plastic welded mine instead of using rivits. And then a single rivit on the back to hold the webbing belt. With the drop boxes just slip the webbing through the buckles in one piece, and rivit to the belt at the back behind where the TD tube goes out of site. I found a drop of hot glue behind the belt front holds the webbing to stop it slipping about. Dont use the nylon drop box straps supplied find a cotton strap and use that, the nylon webbing is ok for the back of the belt at a push, but again id use cotton
Chex Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Def use cotton. It looks so much better. Bad thing is that Jeff includes cotton webbing now instead of nylon for the belt boxes. Marcel pretty much hit the nail on the head though. And remember you don't want your boxes hanging too low
Griffin-X Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 You can do it Marielle! Basically, first you need to assemble the 2 white plastic parts of the belt to the main section of the belt. I would use some good bonding glue (Super Glue, ABS Glue, E-6000, etc) to attach the pieces. This will give you a 1-piece look for the belt. Then, you'll add the larger back webbing for the belt closure, and loop your 1.5" webbing through the belt loops and boxes. I will send you a PM with more details. Good job on the cuts BTW... 1

Jim - I am down to the belt being left to complete my TB - can you PM me with the details on the belt - it's a bit confusing - a lot of different opinions out there - not going for Lancer status with my first build, yet Thanks

Is it like a hot glue gun?
Jokr Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 That is a type of glue used to meld plastics together- its sold at hobby & some craft stores Hobby Lobby has it on the shelves in the model section
Chef Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PLASTRUCT-EMA-PLASTIC-WELD-Cement-57ml-Polystyrene-Butyrate-ABS-Perspex-Acrylic-/131269946964?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 That's what I use, and it's ACE!

CRISTONAMO Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 E 6000 works perfect for me just clamp them together.
Sapper41 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Not to be a necromancer, but can i get the PM also about building the belt? Thanks
Bass Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Pandatrooper's SC build has some really good visuals around page 3 for the belt. He also goes in depth on some clever ways to reinforce the belt.
gattirenata Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 This link took me to an event page it seems.
