Step 4: Making the belt/holster
First make the buckles from thin aluminum sheet and glue some hardboard to the back of the buckles. One buckle gets three screws in it as shown- this is the front buckle. The second buckle get three screws- two of them go directly through the belt- this is the back buckle.
Make the belt from vinyl. Now make the belt ends (three of them) from thin aluminum sheet as shown. They are designed to slide over the screws. These get riveted onto the ends of the belt and holster.
To make the holster lay the blaster down and cut the vinyl around it to get the shape right and then glue it together with the hot glue gun. Now rivet on the belt ends. Make a leg strap and a holster strap from vinyl and put snaps on them.
Connect everything together by slipping the belt ends onto the buckles- that's it! There are some pouches that are on the movie belt as well as a "droid caller" but I left those off in the interest of time and cost.
