those gloves yes. Which Nihilus are you doing? The one from the game or the one from the comic? Boots are easy, something like this 106_12.jpg no visible laces, buckles or straps.

 

Steps to having yourself a great Nihilus belt:

(You may also need a leather punch for this, for the buckle post and for the button studs)

 

Step 1: Go to the Tandy leather website http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com

Step 2: Order the following items:

1 bottle black leather dye http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-u ... 00-01.aspx

1 2 inch wide belt blank http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-u ... 8-186.aspx

1 1 inch wide belt blank http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-u ... 8-186.aspx

Small button studs http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-u ... 10-01.aspx

You'll need about 8 to 10 of them.

And a buckle. (I would go with a plain old buckle blank) http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-u ... 88-00.aspx

 

Assemble the bigger belt, find the length you need by putting it on while you've got your costume on. THen cut it to size. Dampen it with some clean water, and then apply the leather dye to it. Careful, as it will totally stain anything it comes in contact with. You'll probably want to do a couple coats.

Then, after that belt is finished being dyed, find the center point and line the smaller belt up there, finding the points in the back where it can be cut off, it just needs to go around to your back. Make sure to leave it short enough that your buckle has room to move.

Now dye it as well.

 

While that's drying, paint your button studs, they don't come in the right color, so get some nice high grade enamel paint in black and paint them up.

 

After it's all dry, figure out where you want the studs on the belt, keeping the smaller belt trapped between them. Punch the holes and screw the button posts in. I've got a couple of chicago screws on the ends of my small belt to make sure it doesn't go anywhere as well.

 

Your English is fine. What is your first language? There might be someone here that can help with translations for you.

 

^_^ Katie

Better late than never! I updated the tutorial picture to the correct belt. Too many things on my too-do list, not enough time to do them all! (Actually, I hadn't even realized that it still had the old image... I don't get on the website often enough these days!)
