shiyao Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hey guys, Looking for a 1/48 Gunpod Strap, with or without the rings. Either that, or any ideas how I might make one from scratch. What would the best materials be? Best, Sze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 well, if you can't find an original, you can buy some gun accesories for the 1/6 army figures, take their gunstraps and rig it to fit the GU-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiyao Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 thanks for that. what lines of army figures would you recommend, and from what company? i presume you're referring to toys, and not model kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I've thought about replacing my gunstraps with some more "canvas" looking ones from a toy action figure line. Sometimes, when they show the gunpod straps close up, they look like they're made from tan canvas (especially in the early 1-3 episodes). I think that would look cool on our valks! Sorry that I don't have anything to recommend specifically. But I once saw a perfect one in K-Mart. Didn't pick it up though and now I regret it.

Opus Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I'm kinda partial to this little guy here. http://www.goodstufftogo.net/html/body_pro...asp?ItemID=7310 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'm kinda partial to this little guy here. http://www.goodstufftogo.net/html/body_pro...asp?ItemID=7310 That would rule! Is it the right size! At $2.50, I could get one for each of my valks! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strap is about 5mm wide and 13cm long and it extends out to about 24cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiyao Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 opus, that's great man. if it works for you, it should work for any 1/48 gunpod. i'm going to order a couple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiyao Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 ever thought of painting it black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) ever thought of painting it black? Heck no! That's the point! It's supposed to be like canvas! That being said, it's a bit thicker than I would have liked. But still pretty darn cool! H Edited March 9, 2005 by Hurin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 nice find Opus. i don't know about painting it black, but you can always hit it with a black marker and make you're life easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opus Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 It's cotton so you could dye it any color you wanted or hit it with a sharpie. I like the khaki color myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
