Who needs photoetch?
Made from wine bottle foil and wire bent to make the buckles and clasps. Couple of hours work but it wasn't too hard - unless you keep firing the tiny buckles across the room with a wonky set of tweezers, heh. The lap belts are a teeny bit overscale, but I'll be damned if I'm going to redo them. Once they are installed I'll give them a wash to bring out the folds.
These are going into an Eduard FW190 A8 I'm building (Accurate Miniatures release which means no PE included).

These look great already. Very resourceful using household materials. What color are they going to be?

The photo ruins the colour, they are leather brown with details in buff (late war colours). I'll tone down the colour with some washes.
