best material for slings

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Sounds good to me. And I don't drink anyways, so no worries. Oh yeah... Fogger too!

Do NOT take your shoes and socks off!!!

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Oh god... why, dare I ask?

 

[Midget]

Foot fetish.

It's confirmed…. I've… I've been in his basement.

I don't want to talk about it.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Good thing we won't be in his basement then!

Just walk away... walk away...

 

[unclassified]

Quiet, you. We talked about what would happen if you talked.

IT PUTS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN, OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN?

 

[fogger1138]

That's the one.

*puts lotion on the skin*

the hose sucks...

I'm less than two hours down I-81 from Hershey...I'd be interested in coming over and playing GI Joe...I mean setting up dioramas

Damn straight.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Lol...best page of the day!...

Hey Midge, why is your skin so unbelievably soft?

I told you guys this before... you DON'T want the hose!!!

Well, for those paying attention, my idea of combining sucked. The tape had too much elasticity and made the posability of the toothpaste strip obsolete. It also kind of forced me to go a little wider than what I wanted. Also, don't get on me for my 2 pt sling accuracy. I was missing tools and just replaced a failed sling from 4 years ago.

I think the two materials, Lego canvas and med tape can be used in constructing a more modern sling.

Anyone thought about mimicking a bungee strap? It would help a lot when posing.

 

[Midget]

That looks really good! I'm impressed! Paint it black and it's good to go!

As for the bungee strap… meh.. from my experience with the real thing, they kind of suck. The rifle can hit you in the junk if you're not paying attention to where it's hanging.

I never really wanted the bungee strap but I thought it would help allow the figure to get into a proper firing stance if the sling was flexible.

The one thing I am taking from this test is I think that toothpaste tube material will work great for belt rings.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Looks a bit fuzzy too, but not bad overall.

I was thinking that too...silver side out, and you wouldn't even need to paint

Made with lego canvas and a toothpaste container. The stuff cuts easy and appears to be a little stronger than the buckles I've made with styrene.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Awesome. If anything needs to be designed and manufactured for 1:18th, it's "real" sling/gear attachments. Stuff like this in ABS would be sweet.

 

[darthdre758]

I know what I'm going to be doing tonight....slicing Lego canvas for straps.

Good times.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That looks good Giga...though I really like the detail you get on your printed pieces much better...
