DIY Scale model SEAT BELTS - plastic model building tutorial 

Absolutely brilliant ! You are a true craftsman and certainly an inspiration. It is too easy today to buy and use pre-made modelling items, but it is far more satisfying to create and make your own.

best seatbelt tutorial on RU-vid. Thank you

That's how far it came ... I'm searching for DIY scale model seat belt tutorials. Lol. Thanks! I'll make a watered down version without the buckles for my Corsair.

ingenious....thanks for sharing this technique!

Very clever ….and simple ….most good ideas are ….much appreciated.

Great stuff! Always nice to see the craftsman of this hobby sharing tips and techniques. Thank you so much.

Yes, I use drafting tape for belt and very small staples for buckles, no need to paint them silver. Nice to see someone scratchbuilding things. Those look sharp.

Getting ready to do seatbelts in 1/32 HK B-17. Thanks. Looks great!

Brilliant!!! Love it.

I've just found this and I'm super impressed. Already subscribed. Can't wait for more. Thanks so much for sharing this technique.

really noce tutorial ! the best I've seen so far on the subject. I would love to see you do one with a modern aircraft harness

yes MM ! thanks for another great video ! i'm doing a MiG-3 now (1:32 Trumpeter) and i am doing the seat belts as you showed !! my first attempt at seat belts...

Thanks for the technique video MM! Very well presented. Good camera work and you have a great voice for these types of tutorials. I've used this technique since we discovered tamiya tape! Your results are much better.

best seatbelt tutorial. Thank you

Great demonstration, thank you!

Fantastic. Very clever

Best tutorial on yt, you are the best 👍 Giving you strength from France 😊 hope you'll live from your passion one day!

Looks like I'll be stripping down a few of my planes to add seat belts now. Like I haven't got enough projects to do, 😆 Great video. Thanks.

Wow what a genius invention

Great work, my friend. I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks.

Thanks for your guide 🙏 from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Great tutorial. So much attention to detail 👍

Just discovered this channel...liked, subscribed... very informative and clearly explained

Nice job. The frayed edges make them look good. Been doing the same thing for years re-using heavier clothing tags made of cloth. They are made of a stiff canvas sort from an old pair of shorts. The stylish marketing ones that come tagged onto the clothing. They hold up well when cut into small stripes. Then I use wire or a staple.

Thank you so much because of you I can finally know how can I make the seat belts Thank you very much

Very good tutorial. You are so inspiring

Don't miss his next video. Metodi will show us how to build a working engine and fully functional machine guns for our scale models.............

Excellent Tutorial, Thank You for Sharing, Some of the Best I’ve Ever sSeen :)

Brilliant.....Thanks so much

Excelente gracias

Отличная работа. То же пару раз делал подобное, но потом перестал. Только для любителей это делать. В реалии когда очень долго и кропотливо это делаешь на 72 масштабе, а потом закрываешь всё фонарём - эту работу никто не видит. Так, что я перестал такое делать. Просто приклеиваю ремни из скотча и этого на мой взгляд для 72 масштаба достаточно. Так сказать делаю акцент. Другое дело если масштаб 48 и 32 или фонарь открыт, но открытые фонари лично мне разонравились, да и не практично (уже сколько их у меня гости поломали...). интересный у вас суперклей.. позволяет детали какое-то время позиционировать.. у нас в России во всех магазинах только суперклей с моментальным приклеиванием...прикоснулся деталями и всё... уже не сдвинешь, чтоб подровнять..

So badass

Thank you

well done, I have just a question What kind of glue did you use to stick those little metal pieces of buckles?

модели классные , и в произношении слышны славянские нотки )))

Hi, great video, which type of superglue did you use to glue the tape together and then to the seats ?

I don't know if this helps any but back in the day when we used to make miniature military models we used to use electrical tape to make belts

Very nice, now do it in 144th scale ;)

What scale would you use these belts for?

Отлично 👍👍👍😀

you are a fuking genious

What a fine work ! DO yu have GOD HAND ?

What kind of glue did you use for the metal,, buckle?

Hey there. Happy I found your channel. Quick question.: Any tips on getting the shoulder belts (teh buckle and the center beam) cleanly glued together. That center beam is killing me. third attempt at this and out of 30 buckles, not one we usable for the model; most of the center beams break off the buckle when trying thread through or the buckle becomes clogged with super glue. Help!!!!

Mate, your attention to detail and your tutorials are 2nd to nobody!!

I'm going to try this, thank you.

I've seen methods like this done before, but your's end up looking most convincing. Thank you for such clear instructions.

Brilliant belts mate. Very realistic. I specially like how the edges of the belts are naturally frayed and you can see the threads. What scale is this? 32nd?

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. It's very Illustrative, and remember us the techniques of the "Old School Modellers". The best choice to the expensive photoetched parts. Greetings for you from Guatemala, The Land of Quetzal Bird, Símbol of Freedom.

Your videos are always very inspiring. Keep up the good work!

I made seatbelts using your method and video for my Poliparkov I 16. You made it an enjoyable experience. Thank you. I hope you're well!!!!

I've used thin tamiya masking before but never used thin wire for the buckles as I only model in 1/72 scale. I will be giving it a go on my next one. Looks very authentic the way you've done it. Thanks for that bud.

Amazing, not only the idea (which it is, in its own right) bue the execution as well... And about the seatbelts, do you know if in WWI they have a rotary buckle like modern ones??

New subscriber here. Just wanted to know the size of the copper wire that you used?

Very instructive and easy to follow video. They seem real harness

Great video but not practical for 1/72 scale

Which size of copper wire did you use? Thankss

Than all this details will disapear when canopy is placed

If you are doing this a lot, you should look at getting the infini "A" cutting mat. It is brilliant for cutting thin strips of masking tape.

It's difficult to properly drape a PE seatbelt so making them is much better. I use a black paint marker to draw the stitching, I get a neater result. For buckles, I do rely on PE or resin (too much work to do it myself). Good video, thanks!

Ever thought of using 1-2mm brass jump rings?

That's a neat idea!

Nice!

Great!
