WIP: Black Flag Holsters

Description

Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag is coming.
I'm kinda nutty for pirate era stuff.
If I'm not careful, I'll have a cosplay assembled. Worked on the bracers and sword loops after this...coming soon.

This one was a bit of a challenge to engineer because Flintlocks - of the reproduction variety - tend to be grip heavy. These holsters have to be very secure in their bracing of each other and attachment to a belt. I've some how figured it out but haven't been out for a run with them yet. So far, As worn casually and with mild lateral jarring I've had great stability and feel these sufficiently secure.

FYI: I'm asking $120 for reproductions.


--UPDATE:6/14/2013--
Corrected the color of the belts and pull straps multiple times. Should have made them a much darker brown.
Also I started working on the outer leather vest and 3D Prints of the buckles. More updates and links soon.

--UPDATE: 01-02-2014--
I swear this holster lightened up over time. I noticed in the game the character model has yet to wear these, they just seem to dangle on lanyards behind him. I'm wondering if it's a version issue (I'm looking at the xbox360 game as reference currently) or if they're only present in cut-scenes or the advertisements. Curious. The game has given me a good idea for lanyards though! Really easy to make, only takes a small belt clip and a strip of something the same width and a rivet and less than 2" of sewing to make a lanyard that can attach wherever and be easily removed when necessary.
