Dear folk, working with my first figure, have no idea how to make belt, could anyone kindly suggest which specific material is best for making weapon's belt? Thank you!

Lead-foil is very pliable, it can be rolled to various thicknesses and it forms well to give a very realistic look. I've also used plain old printer paper in a pinch. HTH.

I use Tamiya tape doubled up- then cut to the correct size and threaded through etched buckles from Aber.

That is what I like to use. I cut it to the desired length and width and glue it in place. I get it wet and shape it the way I want it and then paint it the desired color. I have always been happy with the results.
