Hey Guys/Gals

So as always I'm converting again (I must really get something up on here) and I want to add a Boltgun hanging from a marines shoulder, eBay are selling thin plasti card strips which I would prefer to use rather than a huge sheet.

Here's my question though what thickness should I aim for? In every tutorial I've seen no one seems to mention thickness or width so out of your experiences what should I be aiming for?

Cheers

I'd say no more than 2 or 3 mm wide and 1 mm thick for a strap.

I just measured the strap on an AoBR marine and it comes in at 0.105 in. wide (2.67 mm) and 0.030 in. thick (0.75 mm). Those are a bit chunky as you can see from pics of those figs. I had a Caliper and the part handy so just thought I would measure and let you know. Been there myself.

Cheers guys really appreciate the responses.
