Idea for batmans utillity belt

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 -
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.

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