Alright, my want for movie accuracy has not yet been satisfied, with any of my props. Now it may happen with my new uniform, a close to movie accurate GB2 uniform. Here’s a quick list of what my first uniforms were. 1st. Olive Drab Coveralls ``` Olive Drab Pistol Belt Rain Boots Black Elbow Pads ``` 2nd. Light Grey Coveralls ``` Khaki Pistol Belt Leg hose, but no leg hose connecter Military Combat boots Non Accurate Gray Elbow Pads ``` Now my third one will hopefully have – A Khaki [Flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) Black Quick release [pistol Belt](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/uniform-pistol-belt) A [Belt Gizmo](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/calculator-circuit-board) [Leg Hose](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/yellow-hose) and a Leg Connector Same boots from previous uniform Movie Accurate Gray Elbow Pads. I’ve bought the flight suit and belt already; it’s still in the mail. I have however, started my Belt Gizmo! ---

Your [Belt Gizmo](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/calculator-circuit-board) looks good! Here is one of the original GB2 [pistol belts](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/uniform-pistol-belt) ([http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/uniform/pistol-belt/](http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/uniform/pistol-belt/) - bottom of the page). It’s simply a black two-hole military pistol belt with a clasp buckle (like the one sold in the shop here: [Uniform: Pistol Belt with Quick Release Buckle (Black) - GBFans.com Shop](http://www.gbfans.com/shop/black-pistol-belts/)), except that part of the right side of the belt has been replaced with a narrow strap. There was a forum member who did a very nice recreation of the belt: [Making a Screen Accurate GB2 Black Belt - Uniforms - GBFans.com](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14476) . Don’t forget the **[Lifegard II PASS Alarm](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/lifegard-2-pass-alarm)**, as it is one of the distinguishing features of the GB2 belts. Also, the [Leg Hose](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/yellow-hose) is left clear for the GB2 khaki suits. Good luck with the rest! ---

I didn’t say that the belts sold in the shop were 100% accurate. I was merely using them as a frame of reference for the general style of the belts used in _GB2_. Both belts are very similar in design except that the screen-used belts are thinner on the actors’ right side and have a slightly smaller buckle than the ones sold in the shop. In addition, the screen-used belts were not as rigid as their modern counterparts, which would not scrunch up like Egon’s (upper left corner) by hanging a P.K.E. Meter or similar piece of equipment from the belt. These current belts are made from a heavy-duty nylon. ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/wraithofmusic/GB2-belt-reference.jpg) ---

The modern belts are also a lot smaller. The thinner portion you see is actually seatbelt fabric. I’ll post some pictures of my belt, as I was in on the research with Austin the belt you cited above. I can tell you, the screen used belts were completely custom made. That being said, the black belts offered here are the cheapest and most easily available substitutes if you don’t want to do the work of custom making a belt. ---

Thanks for all of the complements. A couple of things have changed instead of a khaki suit, I’m going to dye it and hopefully have a GB2 gray. Which is my dream uniform, but with my lack of experience I wasn’t going to do a GB2 uniform. What changed? The [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) I bought turned out to be a Rothco. Not entirely my fault, they didn’t have the brand name anywhere on the page. I’m using Spooky’s dye recipe to dye my Rothco. Also with the free shipping and having to change the size of the suit after ordering, it’s taken considerably longer to get the suit and belt than I anticipated. Anyways, I got good news and progress! I picked up some non accurate key chains at a local hardware store. I spray painted them black, it’s amazing how cheap black paint can adhere to leather. I got drips on one of them, I think I can sand it and fix it. Also got my elbow pads finished, at least I thought. I ripped the sewing thread keeping the excess material inside the pads, and the lint razer took off more than expected. Some elastic thread, and acrylic paint should take care of everything. The good news part is that thanks to Slimeguy, I’m gonna have a working Lifeguard! Here’s a pict of some of the stuff I have thus far. Well as a prototype I.D card I’m working on. ---

You don’t need a hose connector with GB2 grey. ---

I know, ok? But I was wanting one anyway so I thought, I could just do it. The hose is gonna be clear, like those seen on the GB2 khaki. So it’s still somewhat true to the second movie. ---

Here are some good websites that sell some of the hardware for the key straps worn on the GB2 belts: V-Rings [http://djassociates.thomasnet.com/item/military-hardware/v-rings/ms22045-1?&seo=110](http://djassociates.thomasnet.com/item/military-hardware/v-rings/ms22045-1?&seo=110) Oversized D-Rings [http://www.strapworks.com/Metal\_D\_Ring\_p/mdr.htm](http://www.strapworks.com/Metal_D_Ring_p/mdr.htm) Oversized O-Rings [http://www.strapworks.com/Metal\_O\_Ring\_p/mor.htm](http://www.strapworks.com/Metal_O_Ring_p/mor.htm) Just add some nylon webbing, and you’re good to go. Personally, I think the V-ring is the most practical way to hold your neutrona wand on your belt; the hook on the bottom of the gun nicely slots into the V-ring. I’m not sure if you planned on making a GB2 belt or not, but I just thought I’d throw it out there. The ID badge is a nice touch. 🆒 ---

I think its based it off the GBFans/ID Props badge, which the GBFans is made off my design, which is what IDProps has been using. Unless ID changed his design recently, I believe that one is made by Ty. ---

It’s Not404Error’s design. That’s why I didn’t try to get credit for it. [http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=11003&hilit=I.D.+ID+Cards](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=11003&hilit=I.D.+ID+Cards) ---

If you are going to paint that, be sure to spend the extra few dollars and get the Krylon Fusion and a clear-coat. If not, you definitely want to be careful cleaning, because some cleaning supplies will take the black off of the LifeGard portion. ---
