Help with M2A1-7 flamethrower reproduction

Post by Chaks » Thu May 06, 2021 7:51 am

Hello! First timer here. I've been doing some research on the M2 tank system because I am working on creating an accuratish reproduction of one for a costume. The hard parts of the costume will be 3D printed, but I am having a hard time finding accurate buckling and soft parts (fabric). Can anyone help out with resources/sites/people who might be able to supply these?

Id start with a military back pack frame and go from there.
Just an idea.

Looking specifically for the official names for these parts and/or where I might be able to purchase, repro or no.

Your image links are dead. Looking at the address and it's incomplete.

Looks like I screwed up my last image links, so let me try again. I'm looking for the name of this clasp/buckle from the M2 flamethrower strapping. If you know of someone who makes these in reproduction or has originals, that would be great too!
