K-Tiger just posted some smarmy comment at HT about holsters, and it just occurred to me... Anything to replace those useless, gigantic holsters on 25th Wild Bill? Those things are absurd.
What'd I'd love is something softer, similar to the POC Snake Eyes holster that's a bit more rubbery, and holds the pistol tightly. Is there any existing holster that can be modded for that?
Replacing the 25th Duke/Flint holster (so that it pegs in with the screw hole) would be a secondary "AWESOME!" if you could do it, but not as much a priority. Perhaps something with a drop-leg strap that can be glued up the outside and trimmed to fit?
I'm sure I could mod something and cast it. Remind me after joecon, I'm sure I'll have some time by then.
Thanks guys for all the response, I will be contacting everyone via PM. In the meantime here are a few casts finished up yesterday. Joe trooper, Viper, Norman Osborn, Crossbones, New cobra trooper, and Snake Eyes.

Not sure how Bbi managed it. A lot of the problem is that Hasbro can't get scale down pat. The pistols tend to be pretty big.
Super's SE's could probably be shaved down to be more high speed-low drag, but you'll lose all the details.
I have a couple of the BBI holsters as loose parts. Here's what I have that might be good for casting.
Terminator John Connor gunbelt, OURWAR Squadleader tactical holster, First Avengers Captain America holster, BBI holster, me-made gunbelt w. ROC Elite Viper holster, double mag pouch, handcuff case and radio pouch.
Thanks, KT! Definitely one of the best 1:18 holsters. I can't stand how most are bulky and awkward looking at this scale.
I can cast those up in a couple weeks if you want.
Hi Jesse,
I'd send them to you so everybody can buy them from you and enjoy them.
No prob.
Will the master parts still be useable after you take their mold?
Torsos are a coming. Ok so as everyone one knows I'm test casting torsos. Well I have may first one done and looks like I nailed it. I will
take pics and post them later.
I'm heading out to a local place people sell
toys and see if I can find any good figures to start casting torsos. Still need a little testing out but I'm pretty sure they're good.
Now arms and legs are next.
Any requests what torso should be done first.
Any interest in the wrestling belt that came with USA Slaughter?

Just got in a bunch of casts I'd ordered - this stuff is great! I can't wait to try painting them.
