For the nixie shelf, I used a combination of 0.5" foam core and the corner of a DVD case. However, it seems that the screen-used boards didn’t even have shelves - the tubes pretty much sat right on the surface. Of course, the shelf helps add a little more dimension to what is pretty much a fake-looking facsimile of a circuit board.
Over the past two years, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my GB2 belt, so I decided to take a few new photos of it. After several modifications and futzing over the exact configuration, I’ve finally found a set-up that I feel is both aesthetically pleasing and distributes the weight of all the gear I feel obligated to carry about my person.
I’d love to add a trap holster to the belt someday, but would have to sacrifice a few fobs in order to fit it on the belt. It’s not like I have the waist to actually WEAR a trap, though… :roll:
I recently acquired some screen-accurate snap hooks in order to make a GB2-style leather fob. These fobs, similar to those used in GB1 and fitted for a smaller belt, did not fit the black belts terribly well and scrunched them up pretty badly. I decided to make mine a bit longer in order to accommodate the wider belt.
That is a very nice belt DVC, top quality love the gizmo template, I’m wanting to print mine of but haven’t had much luck in finding a printer or somebody who has one?
Hey demon, since I met and bought a belt off u ive been in awe with the craftsmanship. Unfortunately due to my own stupidity I broke the buckle. Can u lead me to where I can purchase another one?
Crap ur right.got ur name mixed with another member lol. Just had a baby and wife and I havent slept much ha. Well.do.u have any suggestions on where to.purchase the front buckle?
The buckle on my personal belt that I wear is an exact match to the screen-used ones, but I can’t remember the the maker; I picked it up at a surplus store, and there’s no marking on the buckle itself.
When looking for buckles, you want to avoid the ones that have the rounded corners - you want a nice flat, rectangular single-side adjustable quick release buckle.
Absolutely love your GB2 Gizmo, thank you for making the print out available to the community. I’m currently in the process of making 2 GB2 uniforms and wondered what ID and OD the plastic tubing is that you used for the stunt nixies please? Also is it PVC hose that you used for them?
