*UPDATE*
Made some more belts:
(I put rhinestones as the 'buttons' on this belt as I thought it would fit the look a little better)
Hey everyone,
I posted this in the Mattel sections with some recent pickups, but figured there may be some members here that don't check there and would like to see these...
I finally got some waterslide paper to try my hand at decals. I'm no Dean just yet, but I'm doing all right. One thing I noticed is that the paper works on metal. So, I photoshopped some photos of the US and Internet Championships and erased the gold so I could put them designs onto the gold sheets of metal. Then, I put them onto some leather straps and I think they came out pretty darn good!
Here are some current Tag Titles I made with the metals kit I got a while back. I refer to there with the old saying, "Good from far. Far from good."
I also repainted the designs onto the WWE Title and IC Title from the Target Champions Pack...
And, I did some work to the World Title to give it a little more shine. Looks close to perfect now IMO.
And, here's what the back of my releathered belts look like. I cut the nubs off the plates and glue them to the leather. Some times they come off a little, but for the most part, they're fine and fit SO much better and more realistically this way...
