New Raiders gun belt and holster

Post by knibs7 »

Just got these last week from Wade. Once again, he did an AMAZING job. I went ahead and distressed them to make them SA.
Feedback is appreciated :)

Holy smokes! I'd forgotten how good Wade's gear looks!
Great distressed look on the belt and holster. They look like they've been to Cairo and back!

Did you put a pistol in the holster when you distressed it?

Thanks guys! And yes I used a pistol to slightly water-form the holster.

Looks Fantastic! :tup:

Now did you just roll the belt back on itself, or did you also do the hammer technique like Tundrarider?

I just ordered mine can't wait!!! :D

I just rolled the belt back and twisted it. -I'm not familiar with Tundrarider's method.

Well whatever you did looks great. I believe Tundrarider did the same, but used a hammer to bang the bends as he rolled it back over itself. Here is the link: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44243

Yours looks very similar.

What can I say that others haven't already said? Except, how did you do it? Great job by the way.

Hi there,
I am fairly new to COW.
I am working on a Raiders Costume for myself and a Short Round Costume for my son.
I love what you did with the holster and belt.
Did you order the Saddle Brown color holster? Any tips on what you used to distress the holster and belt.
What length weapons belt did you get or did you just give them your waist and whip size?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
