Hm, haven't heard of him yet... but perhaps I mixing him with somebody else... :huh:

Is there any chance that the holsters will be offered in the Cylon Store section, by the way?

That's possible they take quite a few man hours. I may be hard for me to keep them under $200.00 so for now that's what we are looking at.

I'll start taking orders once my pyramids come in. I just joined Tandy leather again so it may be worth the doing.

$200 complete? Blaster, and holster? That is a way rockin price. Kit form, or finished? What is it you had to join with Tandy leather? They only sell to members? I think there is a local retain store here in town still, or at least used to be.

Unfortunately the holster alone at this point. It's an f load of work from scratch. It doesnt look like it I know, but all straps are cut from a sheet and to deliver a better than but as remembered version that's where we are. I can maybe do better in the future.

I got a lead on precut strips. The cost will come down dramatically. Stay tuned!

And kit form is a great idea!!

On closer inspection it's a vaccume formed pull over the stunt + an extra 1/8 of an inch down the center. And his holster looks to be black.

Ok it looks like I can offer the holsters built for 125.00 + 10 us shipping

A kit for 65 + 10 with holes punched.

Pre orders accepted. It might be two weeks or something.

I just ordered my materials.

Or I can finish it for you 125+ s and h
