Sand bags and head piece from Todd's

[Sebastian Arms]

I have to hand it to Todd's Costumes. Quick delivery and good service. Several items of my personal gear are from them; Web belt, bag strap, knife, gloves, shirt, and boots. They all fit well and have held up for almost a year (the boots are not that old, but doing well after several long hikes).

I just got one of his sandbags and the headpiece he has recently offered. The bags are of chamois and nicely sized with brass grommets and a leather lace closure. I am going to age the material, darken the grommets and generally abuse the lace to make it better looking. I have made a few of the bags in the past and, although it was easy enough to make my own, I like Todd's a lot.

The headpiece is a basic copy with minimal embellishment. As I have no other model to compare with, I cannot comment on how it stacks up. It fits my needs.

Your servant,

Greg (aka Sebastian Arms)

I have not figured out how to stick a picture on the forum directly. Here is a link to my photobucket pictures.

Greg, to post an image, you right click on it, then go to properties. Highlight the complete address, then when you post here, click where it says "Img" and past the link there. When you hit submit, it will show up as an image.

Oh, and, I love Todd's too. I just got a jacket, and Ive worn it so much that in over a week it looks a year old:D

It's actualy quite easy to post pics from photobucket. Just go to you album and hover your cursor over the picture you want to post, like this:


Now you left click on the IMG link in the little menu that appears so the link turns blue:


then you right click, and choose "Copy" in the menu (I know there's something Dutch here, but trust me, it says "Copy" )


Then go to where you are typing your post, right click, and choose "Paste" (again, the Dutch thing returns, but I' on a Dutch computer )


Then the code should be in the box for your post. Type your post, press submit and presto:


I hope this helps

EDIT: I had to resize this picture as it was way larger than was alowed.

Although that last pic should be smaller in size.

Gotcha.

[Sebastian Arms]

Thanks for the extra info on posting. I will give it a try later.

Any thoughts on the visuals of the headpiece on the bag. I bought two of the bags and am treating one to a dirt bath and general abuse today to give it a better look.

I will post pictures as it is finished.

is that gun from todds too?

[Sebastian Arms]

No, That is one of the new S & W !917 models. Great gun and loads (pardon the pun) of fun to shoot. I am going to be buying a another barrel to cut down sometime when I have some extra cash. I am fortunate that I do not need a non-firing gun at this time. I wear my gear where I can carry a real pistol.
