Ace-Garageguy Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) I saw a set of PE buckles and springs just a couple of days ago. Stupidly, I neglected to note where. Edited July 11, 2018 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTallDad Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Men's leather wallets generally have some very thin leather, in case you're thinking about making your own straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Fine leather might work for larger scale models, but is way too thick for the 1:24/25 or smaller scale. Painted masking tape could be used. I also have some antistatic bags for electronic circuit boards. Those are made from rubbery black plastic which can be cut into strips which has the "leather look". Electrical (vinyl) tape should also work. You should be also able to find it in brown color if needed. Just remove the adhesive (Naphtha works well for that), and you have thin flexible strip which can be cut into scale straps and belts.
