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.
