5TH we used 2IN black web belts from any Army Navy store.

What/where exactly do you use the web belts in the costume?

Can you give some sort of detail.. Thanks

Deadguy, sounds like you might be looking for Rhino Paintball/Airsoft gloves.

example here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-05-Rhino-Paintba...VQQcmdZViewItem

In general do a search on ebay.co.uk (.com didn't appear to work)

They are awesome for all sorts of costume applications, seen them in loads of films, take a look at the Aliance navy guys in Serenity.

Full finger are however rather uncomfortable and do need a load of flexing and bedding in.
 
Also come in fingerless, take a larger size and you can wear somthing thin underneath like navigunner gloves, that way you can get the coverage but no loss of dexterity. This being important if you're airsofting or at a larp or a bar...

Edit: Ouch! 113 bucks =p...

I have a little of my own magic to add,

http://cgi.ebay.com/3-LED-CLIP-ON-Headlamp...1QQcmdZViewItem

These are excelent items for helmet lights. You may be like No. those are lame. Its better then just having a single led sticking out of your helmet looking all stupid. These are really nice because they contain 1 white bright led in a lightbulb like casing (what I mean by that is there is reflective stuff around it inside. When I used 4 of these for my helmet, I took the black clip off and I dremeld the poly that comes of the lamp to attach to the clip. I was able to fit it into the sideboxes of my helmet where it fit so snug into the hole I made.

I unfournatly do not have this helmet any longer =[. But I still have these led lamps sitting around the house, one right next to me now =].

Thats all.

Thanks

That looks pretty good, almost exacty what I used in my helmet. Although I used white lights myself... I never reconciled whether they should be white or blue. But any white LED has a bit of a blue tinge to it, that was good enough for me. :dee:
 
Pretty good gloves there, not quite what I'm going for wehn I make mine, in a thread asking for udnerarmour gloves someone linked me a nice pair. If you wanna check it out the thread is called "underarmour gloves".
