This tip was posted on Stockholm IPMS today, and when I looked at it, I knew it was something that would/could/should be a valuable tip. Anybody who builds armor or figures needs buckles for belts or straps and to make them convincing and realistic isn´t a simple matter. Well Gordy has shown on "Planet Figure" an excellent method for simply adding buckles with milliput. This man is genuis!
