Realistic Seatbelt Buckles


Recommended Posts

Hello, how can I make realistic seatbelt buckles for F-14, F-4, F-15, F-18 and the likes without aftermarket resin/photoetched parts? The idea at: http://www.promodeller.com/how-to-scratch-build-seat-belt/ is good but that is more suited for WWII types of aircrafts I think.

I have styrene strips, various thin wires, masking tape, aluminum foil etc. but still cannot figure for the life of me how to make good buckles. Here are my futile attempts at the buckles:

I am ready for a better way.

Thank you!
