Ayen_s E-11 Blaster Leather Holster DIY

For my armor, I want to make my own E-11 Leather Holster. I stay in Malaysia and most of the material and tools are source locally.

Tools
Snap Setter Set
Leather Hole Punch 3mm 
Hobby Knives
Metal Metric ruler
Mallet
Hard Rubber/Cutting board
White colour pencil

Tools for DIY stitching

Adjustable Groover
Diamond Hole Chisel 3mm or 4mm spacing
Leather hole puncher
2 Leather Needles
Wax thread

Consumable
Leather Size 16"X16": I choosed a pre dyed black leather. As this was a pre dyed black leather, I will double up the holster strap with a brown undyed leather for ANH look.
Button Snap
Double sided rivet


Template
E-11 Blaster Leather Holster Template: here


Procedure

1. Study the template for previous bulit. Here & here

2. Print out the template in A3 size:I redraw the template in  Inkscape. Set up the paper to A3. During printing, I encountered problem because my printer's printable margin cannot print out the full lines. So i adjusted some part to middle a bit and print the template twice.

3. Check the dimension is correct

4.Cut out the template: I combine the template using stationary tape.

5.Trace the template on the leather: With the piece that I have, I can make 2 holster. A spare in case I mess this one up.

6.Cut the template with sharp hobby knife. I change the blade each time I want to make a new cut.

For the stitching, I am going to send it to a leather shop nearby for machine stitching. I still not capable to do my own stitching yet.

To be continue.

44.  Plasti-Dip-  A  black rubberized coating you can spray inside your helmet, (also available in a brush-on).  Or, you can use spray paint.  Just remember to sand and prime first!

47.  Acetone-  For use ONLY in making ABS paste for filling small gaps, (see tutorials).  Do NOT put this on your armor, as it will melt it. (NP)

48.  SUGRU-  This is a kneadable, like Play-Doh (Plasticine) glue that can be used for attaching hard plastic lenses in your helmet.  Just roll a small piece into a little "snake", press in onto the inside of the eye opening, press the lens in, remove any excess that seeps through. no problem.  Dries in 24 hrs., and is removable if needed.  I found it at Lowe's near the paint counter, but it is available online at www.sugru.com(NP)
