Michael Brandt Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hey gang!! I'm wanting to put together a screen acurate storm trooper belt for my Luke ANH suit for Halloween this year! That's all the reference I've found from here and other sites. Is the belt canvas or leather? I'm even going to put gaff tape on the top of one of the boxes lol Are there measurements of the belt and boxes? I'm sure I'll have more to pick you guys brains about lol Thanks!!

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I have an extra TK belt, and could put together a holster with distressing like that. you will need a comlink, with holder, and a grappling hook box setup. it can be done, but you have to start sourcing parts right away... it takes time for us to make stuff! how accurate are you wanting to go? we usually go for a very high bar of accuracy.

Locitus[Admin] Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 The belt is a multi-layered canvas btw. About 3 inches wide. Here's a picture of an original TK belt which is made from the same materials as what Luke wore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 perhaps the best route to travel is simply to get RS props to cover the materials and workmanship. I'm not exactly sure if they have the comlink and grappling hook setups done yet, but they most likely would be able to help you out a great deal, if you're really wanting to go to the high levels. that's a nice post mathias..

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 TrooperMaster makes the Grappling Hook box also. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Brandt Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 You guys are awesome! I'm wanting to go as screen accurate as budgetly possible! Lol I read that lukes belt is missing the center square. I've got some black leather for the holster but definitely interested in the plastic front!

Michael Brandt Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 That hook looks great! Can I asked what you made it from? Also, the complete belt looks great as well troopermaster! I love to make costume pieces for my self but would definitely be interested in a kit of the plastic parts! This forum rocks! Everyone's so helpful!

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 The grappling hook was made from some tube, a spring, 3 roll pins and the arms and head are pieces of pvc pipe, heated and glued together then shaped. Size I obtained by bringing a screen shot up of the belt with grappling hook, blew it up on the screen so the belt measured 90mm then took the measurements of the hook. The comlink was made from a mic tip and two pvc fittings, then covered with O rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
