EUREKA!! EUREKA!! ...samurai sword belts!
« on: June 15, 2013, 02:30:53 »
BIG THANKS to Gordon & Arnaud(Cowabounga)! :love: :love: :love:
its only my prototype but I can see these all over my samurai army already ;D
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! ;)

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

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.  :wall:

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...

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

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 :P

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 ;)

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).
