Lap sash seat belts

[frank193]

Has anyone got a tutorial on making 1:25 seat belts, not aircraft or racing.

Photo etched buckles and tongues combined with craft ribbon of an appropriate width, or with masking tape painted and cut to width does a convincing job. If the buckles you are modelling are less common, they can be scratchbuilt with styrene and painted.

What type of buckle are you looking to replicate for the belts?

^^ a few options available online

Searching up what the particular belts look like on the vehicle you are building should help narrow down the aproach you use.

I use gaffers tape for the belts. It's black, sticks to the seat and has a weave pattern on it. A roll will last you several lifetimes.
