This started out as a need for a Cobra logo that could be attached with velcro to the belt on a Cobra Viper’s tactical vest. I quickly learned that with a metal wire loop\/peg embedded in the resin, these are very functional as actual belt buckles and I wear one daily. I can still make them with velcro backing too, and lots of Viper costumes you see at conventions use my logos on their vests. I can claim credit for quite a few Major Bludd, Iron Grenadier and Cobra Commander costume builds seen online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cast these with urethane resin, usually tinted to the color of the final product (or as close as I can get it), because a worn belt buckle is going to eventually have some scratches in a painted surface. I have gold, silver, bronze and other metallic powders for “real” metallic looks without paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
