I recently picked up a Lifegard IV from here on the forums (Thanks Spongeface!).
My uniform setup is more or less based on TVG so I was thinking i would try to make a holster for the Lifegard as close to TVG as possible. Here’s the video game version in case you’re wondering:
(Screencap by Jackdoud)
The theory is that they added the holster/board for legal reasons since it disguised the unit being a Lifegard II.
Anyway, this plan was on the back burner until earlier today when I realized I might just have the supplies in my office to pull it off - so this morning I created a template and built the holster:
It’s actually just made of stuff I had laying around:
-
A single sheet of black plastic (used for report covers)
-
a shoelace
-
round head paper fasteners
The holster doesn’t interfere with the Lifegard clasp as all either, so it will still attach to your belt the same way as always.
I have a circuit board and some wires at home that I will attach later. I’ll update with the results.
If anyone is interested in the template I’ll clean it up and post it.
I was also thinking it would be cool to mock up the circuit board and include it on the print out so people without the boards could make their own by adhering it to a piece of plastic or something.
