UPDATE 31/01/09 Here is the latest one, the spinner WWE Championship this time the leather is closer to the plates, and hstill has room for the stitching UPDATE 26/01/09 i've just finished the ECW one in similar fashion, even if the leather is slightly too large I DONT CARE - it was necessary to put the stitching on 19/01/09 This is my first attempt at leathering a belt I tried to make it look like a 1/500, so i included stitching around the border of the leather (vinyl) i painted gold studs on to make it more authentic As the real WHC only has rubies mounted on studs, i only painted the rubies, not the studs i apologise for the bad photos, i couldn't find a place where the light shone well on it the close ups are crap, dunno why since my camera is normally good i decided to not paint the actual plates gold, as i think it makes the belt more dull colour, and i like how it is shiny i think it came out really well, with velcro to attach it around figures i really think the photos don't do it justice, it looks really nice up close i wish i coul sqhow you better up close images, but my camera wouldn't have it please tell me what you think thanks for looking

I think it looks pretty good, but why does your Cena have elbowpads on?

Very nice indeed!I would suggest rounding off the top and bottom of the leather strap to make it look more realistic.Maybe even make the strap a little closer to the plates but nice detail adding the stiching.I cant wait to see more of your work.

I think that there is too much leather around the edges.
The plates could be a little farther apart but I think it is nice that you can make something hard like that.

the leather should be much more rounded. Should also be much closer to the plates. Also Cena does not wear elbow pads.

Also Cena does not wear elbow pads. i'm not bothered about the edges, i think they are round enough i followed the size of the WHC toy belt, so it's not my fault it is too large, and it doesn't even matter as for cena, well i have seen him wear elbow pads, i have pictures in wwe magazine with him wearing them also it doesn't bother me plus loads of da's come with elbow pads too, even those people who dont wear them i find it funny how 1. you guys find all the faults, without commenting on the good things and 2. comment on obsolete things

Not too bad at all. Its good for what it is. The stitching is a very unique idea! Props to you on that one! As for the leather it does need to be closer to the plate and there are a few pointny buts but otherwise a lovely belt. I know you mentioned you dont want to paint it gold, but if you have a second belt i say try it, personally it looks a trillion times better painted gold. Sure its not overly shiny like that is but you see the detail and it just looks nicer. Jakks ones are ridiculously shiny. Have a try once mate, but otherwise the belt currently is pretty cool with only a few flaws.

They're decent, but could be much better.
I can't say anything that hasn't already been said.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk i was trying to help him out and show him what the belt is suppose to look like but he was just a prick about us giving him pointers. to the OP your ECW belt is nice. the ONLY thing i can bitch about is i think the purple is a tad to dark but thats just being picky. the leather is a tad large but we're not gonna get into this again.
