    Idea for batmans utillity belt

    I came across these in a tank kit the other day and I thought what a good pouch they would make for batmans utillity belt.

    I'd say they'd be a neat start.

      Fantastic idea! The pouch scale is great. Any ideas for the buckle?

          At first I thought that the pouch was a little small, then I considered how many Batman utillity belt pouches look too big on the 8 inch mego body. When it comes to the buckle, I guess the sky is the limit.
          How many pouches do you suppose are needed to complete the belt?
          A buckle with an embossed bat would be cool.
          I found under-cooking Fimo will give it more elasticity. Perhaps a press mold made of super-sculpey to make the pouches and then another SS press mold of them attached to a belt. Under-cook complete belt with pouches cast to allow bending and shaping. Since the under-cooking time is most likely determined by the amout of material, you may need to find out how much time works.
          Over cooking will result in a solid piece that will break before it bends.
          On another approach, design a clip/loop on the back and add them to any cloth or elastic belt. DrMego's yellow elastic belt comes to mind.

            I am going to make a mold of the pouch I have about three of them, cast it in alumalite put them to geather on a thin strip of fimo and then make a mold of the completed belt and cast it in alumasol so it will be flexable
