Where'd you get the holsters?

One holster (Starbuck without jacket) is a CTVT western gunbelt with one holster cut off, the one on Apollo is from a smaller Battlestar Figure, and the other one is made from craft foam. I think the CTVT Western gunbelt works the best, and they're easy to get.Comment

Castaway has some nice ones, but they don't have anything for southpaws.JediJaidaComment

The CTVT ones are double holsters, I just cut off the one on whichever side I don't need. I really liked the fact that they had the leg strap too, but they break without even being touched just sitting on the figure overnight. I may just make the gun belts from craft foam, because now that I think of it I don't think the blasters will actually fit into the holsters on those belts.Comment

If you want the holster to stay on the leg, use thin black elastic as the leg strap.
Just make sure it has enough give to go over the figures leg without snapping.
OH, and make sure you post a tutorial on making the collar and holster.
I just might pick up some bodysuits from Doc for my own customs.JediJaidaComment

Well, I have a little more to do on Starbuck Apollo and Adama, and have a head I'm going to use for Boomer and one i think will work for Baltar as well.Awesome! How close are you to being complete with your collection?
Then I'll have to start on a Cylon, which should be a challenge.
Still trying to get Viper helmets to work too.Comment

Talk to Tohiro about Cylon heads. He makes a GORGEOUS Darth Vader head, and I know that he's working on a Cylon custom.
The one that he is currently working on is BEAU-TI-FUL!!! And that is no lieJediJaidaComment

The Viper thought had crossed my mind . . .I love the Crew so far, Spy. Which one of us is going to get adventerous and start up the Viper?Comment
-
THAT would be ambitious, wouldn't it?
Getting the flight console in the correct scale, the seat, the canopy, the wings and assembly.
I figure, maybe two or three years to get the whole kit and kaboodle done.JediJaidaComment

If you want to be Mego-like for the viper (think batmobile smaller that it should be) find the carcass to a beat up Evel Knievel Sky Cycle and attach wings and a nose cone.

I should make a Someecards for that. I'm tentatively back - xmas/new years kept me busy and I'm changing over computer types so everything's been wonky.
