Nope, all your photos still show the standard Photobucket 3rd party sharing waffle. I'm surprised they've not gone bust yet ;)

Really great and thorough tutorial! Thanks for sharing it and the template with us! I've not started a Tusken just yet, but he's on my list eventually and I can see this coming in quite handy for that and likely many other potential builds.

It also really helps to show those new to costuming (not me) how simple some projects can be. Time consuming, yes...but you did a wonderful job with all the photos and explanations, and I'd think just about anyone at any level would be able to follow these instructions if they desire to gain some good DIY experience.

I'm about to begin bandolier belt builds (loving that alliteration) this week, so am looking keenly at any templates and how-to guides here!

I notice the mounting loops/rear straps on these pouches would seem to leave plenty of slack - how does that work in practice? Do they tend to slip and slide around much on the belt?
Is that a deliberate design feature.. to allow the wearer more freedom of movement? ..or so they are adaptable, to allow for carrying them attached to a broader belt, if necessary? Or is it simply copied faithfully from an original real-world bandolier type?

You can adjust the belt loops if you like...they work just fine for me considering I tighten the belt around my waist and they don't slide at all. You can even make the pouches larger or smaller depending on your frame (or your phone, wallet, whatever you want to keep in them).

Has anyone figured out which bando this is? Looks like the Mauser C96 ammo belt which would make sense as this of course was Han’s gun base.

That's about as close as anything I've seen! The pouches are small though IMHO. Wow. Seriously though a nice find there, but nobody knows what the actual pouches were as of yet.

Thanks for the tutorial! I created a set of my own, with a few changes to the process along the way, and they look great.
