EUREKA!! EUREKA!! ...samurai sword belts!

[cheng]

BIG THANKS to Gordon & Arnaud(Cowabounga)!
its only my prototype but I can see these all over my samurai army already
I've been trying to collect those white 'judoka' belts from the jungle theme but this is even better....it looks like Playmo and can hold the PM dagger-holder at the hip at right angles or even behind!
they are made from paper fasterners (PVC covered metal strips...you can see that its strong enough to hold a klicky's torso in mid air)
..I'm sure you guys can use these for other customs too! vehicles, buildings etc if you can find other colours!

[cheng]

this is the PM part from jungle theme and the intended use as 'sarashi' (white cotton belts)

[cowabounga]

I can't understand why my answer didn't show

You did it Master Cheng! This is the best compromise! Now, where do we find these? I'm afarid I never saw any here, in France. 

[Hadoque]

PVC- paperholders? It looks good, interesting...
Not sure either if these are available here. Maybe I should check it out next time I'm in a paperware-store...

[cheng]

you can buy them separately or find them in flat paper files for holding A4 papers after punching holes.
do you think I should not use those black dagger holders but instead just make a loop for the wakazashi/katana...it'll be awesome if it can hold both and still not look too bulky

[cowabounga]

Well, you can't use two belt loops, so I guess it'd be better if you tried to fit the two swords in the belt.

will try it at the front for a samurai...at the hips, the problem is that the klicky can't lower his arm ....but rear would be the easiest (for foot soldiers/ashigaru)
..Arnaud, if you need these but cant find, just let me know

[Birdie]

They look perfect!

[cheng]

thanks Birdie...this really opens up a lot of possibilities for me..hope to make a jaseon korean lady soon

The menuki (end of hilt) is to be at your belly-button.

The knot of the obi (belt) goes at the back behind the koshita.

The little bow at the front is for tying the hakama - not for the belt (obi).
