hey guys! Great thread for someone late to the party.
looking to get help with his boots. I have the bates boots and would like assistance in adding the spats/straps.
any help would be appreciate! Thank you!
EDGE has done one of the best winter cosplay's I have ever seen and earlier in this thread, he shared how he did the boots and straps. I would also recommend checking out his blog which has how he made his cosplay Here. It has multiple pages and is in all Japanese but google can translate it no problem.Thank you, everybody.
The manufacture of boots is not so difficult.
I make a model with paper first.
This is a model of the paper.

The model varies according to boots and size.

Lots of different people attach it in different ways, it really depends on what you want to do with your guns. Some people just either glue/screw it down or permanently attach it in some way. I've seen some others who wanted to be able to remove it for photos have a clip/slide-in system or use strong magnets as well.Hello guys!!! I'm very happy to find this thread. My question is how the pistols on the leg manage to hold without holster? with a magnet? Thanks!
First of all thank you very much for your answer. It's a very good idea. I would like to see if possible the progress of your project to know roughly how to do it. Because basically I wanted to use magnets but I really don't know which ones to take and how to put them I don't know how to go about itLots of different people attach it in different ways, it really depends on what you want to do with your guns.

I'm planning on inserting a screw in the side of my gun and placing it in a small hole and rectangle on my holster. That way it can slide down and be secured but I can still remove it. I based my method on a photo of someone linked earlier in the thread.

I’m currently studying full time so I haven’t actually started making anything, I’m just gathering information and writing notes on how I’ll make my cosplay. My course finishes in 6 months and then I’ll be able to get started. In the future, I’ll link how I made mine.First of all thank you very much for your answer. It's a very good idea.

This might be an option. I use these for concealed carry on a vehicle, & stashing my pistol in different places. They're $15 a pair, can mount with screws but also come with 3M mounting tape, they're coated with rubber on the outside so as to not scratch your weapon, & are rated to hold 45lbs.First of all thank you very much for your answer.

Thank you for your answer. I'm sorry I didn't really understand what you explained to me about how to do with magnets. Could you rephrase please?

Using magnets is quite simple although it depends on what materials you use. If you were to use plastic as a base for your holster, you could purchase 2 thin pieces cut holes the size of your magnet in one, and glue them together. That way the magnet can sit comfortably and be glued in with a backing. Then it’s just a matter of either filling your pistol with magnets or sticking them on with super glue.
When looking for good magnets I’m sure there is a classification system for strength but honestly, I just search for 'Super Strong Magnets' and get whichever has the best reviews.
Thank you for this suggestion but I'm afraid it won't work for plastic weapons!! So i don't know what to doThis might be an option.

Believe me when I say THEY HOLD! I use them regularly to hold a Glock 27, but I've also had one hold a sawed off 12Gague under a cabinet.
I don't see why they wouldn't work for a costume.
