I posted a 'how to' on here about a year ago. I made a mix of malt vinegar, window cleaner and bleach. I then took the shine off the buckle with a scotch pad then left the buckle in the mix for a couple of hours. When I took it out It had the green oxidization on it. Then just buff it up to bring ba...

OK, all WG kit owners, here's the straight low-down on the lanyard rings: I have found rings that are pretty close to the size and shape needed: http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp176/zlpace/ML-2461-T.jpg These should arrive to me by early next week. I will cut a slot in the ring and pry one side...

I really hope Wade has some more WG's. I left the paint stripper on my gun too long and it melted. That'll teach me to keep my brain cell on one thing at a time.

matt black

Thanks for the kind worde TR and RZ. The post is just a dome nut ground down to size with a hole drilled right through then a bolt with the end cut off screwed as far into the dome nut as it will go. Under that is a plastic nut ground down so it is round then a steel nut ground down smaller than the...

matt black

Thanks Wade. Now I've just got to hope that custom's let it through

matt black

I made this for my Wade WG. It's not perfect but should do the job. It is all metal construction apart from the black plastic ring that will allow it to swivel the full 360 when fitted. I only had a couple of ref pictures and finished making it the before TR posted the very helpful close up shots. T...

Oh sorry. I did'nt realize it was not deactivated.

Interesting. I was not aware that you would need a certificate. I do hold a licence for shotguns but that might not cover it. I have purchased deact's before and never had to have any form of licence or certificate. The last one being about five months ago but maybe they have changed the rules since...

matt black

Well it's been over a year since I quietly backed away from having my gun shipped. I just received an email from the company asking me what to do with the gun. Their words were that it would be EXTREMELY expensive (450 pounds = $718!) to have it shipped to me. They also mentioned that they could au...

Like the day I got them

It's normaly a big hall that has a drinks licence. Some people go to them instead of a pub as the booze is normaly cheaper. You can hire them for private events too.

They are great. I have two of Graeme's whips. He is also a pleasure to deal with. Great looking gear Graeme

matt black

Now thats detail

Great work.

matt black

I love the way you put your own personel touch on all your gear Michael. Your full gear shots are amazing because of it. The belt looks fantastic. I use the same method on my bag straps.

Lovely looking jacket djd and you wear it well. I've always wanted a Magnoli.

matt black

Thankyou

matt black

Is'nt the Todd's link thats been posted just for the DP that Todd sells?

matt black

I think all the hats in the links you gave are Dorfman's.

matt black

Thanks djd. I have one and for what it is, its a good hat. It comes unbashed and the felt is floppy, not rock hard like most of the wool felts.

matt black

You could try www.themovieshop.com .They do a wool felt and IMO it is far better than the DP.

matt black

I have the same problem on my shirt too MK. When doing up the buttons you have to be pretty careful not to pull the stitching. This is my only critisism too. Other than this, I love the shirt.

matt black

Very very nice! :TOH: Your Novapelle look like have a yellow tone in it. My distressed parts of the jacket look like more red. Strange... :-k Have you soaked your jacket with water? Expecially the collar look like very soft and break; mine was a little stiff and "straight".[/quote] [quote]...

matt black

Here is mine just for comparison. LC Novapelle with no pecards.

There is a website called www.fabricuk.com. They are in Birmingham and stock a wide range of protective sprays. They might be worth a look.

If it's truthful is it hostile?[/quote]

If it is truthful, does it make it necessary to have to say it? If someone for instance is bad at something you don't have to go and tell them so.

matt black

Do you really find it necessary to keep having a dig at the British _? There are quite a few British members here and your comments are pretty hostile in what is for the most part a very friendly place.

Hi Jake. I use nylon whips most of the time as being in the U.K it is wet most of the time. I can not add much to the thread as I am by no means a whip expert but I can say that I much prefer the bb loaded core. It seems to roll out real nice and feels more like a hide whip. But like I say, I'm no e...

matt black

Thanks AP. A very interesting read and very helpful

matt black

Thanks DJD. There is a bit of room to play with so it should be fine.

matt black

Fantastic. Thanks Holt. Just what I was looking for.

matt black

I have a shiny new lamb skin jacket and was after some advice on how to make it look old and used. I will give it a light sanding on the seams etc and take some of the shine off with rubbing alcohol but I was wondering if someone could explain to me what shrunken lamb actually is. I have done a sear...

I wore my shirt to the British museum a couple of days ago and took a pic with the crystal skull. Sorry for the quality but it was on my phone.

Thanks jnicktem. I ordered the small as the sizes matched up pretty well with my Todd's shirt. I am about 5'10".

All the best,

Rob.

Got my Azuma shirt in the post today and I love it. The shirt seems very well made and fits me like a custom shirt. Thanks Azuma, great job :clap: The shape may look a bit 'off' in the pics but I had only just taken it out of the packet.http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv217/robbsac15/ertet005.jpg...

matt black

Great stuff. I'm in for one.

matt black

I got my boots from Todd about a month ago and I have had no problems what so ever. They are really well made in my opinion.

matt black

The whips look great Graeme. I will be placing an order soon. Will be in touch

matt black

Hi Lancer. I looked for ages and could'nt find anything decent here in the U.K except for Aldens but they were out of my price range. There is a new pair of TODD'S on ebay at the moment in the U.K, size 10. You could always check to see what his returns policy is like and look at Todd's size guide o...

matt black

Hi Mitch. I think wearing it higher makes it fit the shape of your face better. Great looking hat by the way.

matt black

You should'nt come on here and tell lies Mitch! Your boy did'nt make that. Its a Dorfman.
Joking aside, The hat looks great

and hopefully the first of many.

matt black

Can't wait to see what these are like Graeme. If they are made as well as your nylon whips they will be fantastic. Expect an order in the next couple of months

matt black

On an item of this price I do not believe you would have to pay any customs charges. You only have to pay if it it over a certain amount and I believe that to be about the £30 mark. You can check all this info online if you type in 'customs charges for the U.K'.

matt black

If you type in 'Indiana jones web belt' on ebay, there is a guy in the U.S that does both the khaki and the brown. Both come with aged buckles. The belts are about £2.00 and postage if I remember correctly was about £3.00. I have two of his belts and I am very happy with them. :tup: Good luck. I jus...

matt black

Thanks guys, thats good to know

. By the way Chewey, it's a bit late but congrats on your engagement.

All the best,

Hi everyone. I am just about to order some of Todd's boots. I am a U.K size 9 and believe that is a U.S size 9.5. I don't think Todd does half sizes so does anyone know if I should go for a U.S size 9 or a 10? Any help would be great. All the best, Matt. Sorry. Just noticed that there is a printable...

http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv217/robbsac15/IMG_0922.jpg Here is my new whip from Midland whips. Its a 12 foot 16 plait. I could'nt be more happy with this whip. Graeme does great work. http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv217/robbsac15/IMG_0931.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv217/ro...

Thankyou Fedora. I am atempting to make my first hat. This is all great info.

matt black

Thankyou very much. That is a great help, you are a star.

matt black

Hello all. I have searched but could'nt seem to find the info that I need. I need the sizes of the parts of the LC hat (front height, rear height) mainly the brim size. I f anyone can help with this or post a link to a thread that I may have missed that would be fantastic.

All the best

Matt
