Western belt & holsters 1/6th scale
I made some western 1/6th scale dioramas and put together a couple of gunfighter figures made from parts from various manufacturers like Sideshow Toys, DID, DML as well as some custom pieces. I wasn’t too happy with the plastic belt and holsters that came with the weapons from a Sideshow figure.
The spurs and bar were hand-made by myself.
So I used some leather from an old well used wallet and made a belt, I then made some templates from paper for the holsters. I used these templates to cut some of the wallet leather and stuck them together with some Super Glue.
I got some brass wire and fashioned a buckle for the belt, I think the side holster and cross draw holster look a lot better in leather than the original plastic.

its really cool… but belt should be thicker i think
Yeah, usually they have a belt for the pants and a holster, I didn’t add the bullet loops either as you wouldn’t see them under the coat. But still better than the plastic original.
