    So I just bought a Dr. Wu red tyrant sword on ebay and plan on giving it to my custom movie universe bounty hunter Mindwipe, who already wields Dr. Wu's Scythe.

    I also plan on equipping him with either Dr. Wu's red Full Gear rifle or Fans Projects Colossus rifle. (If anybody has these for sale please PM me)

    Which now brings me to the point where I need a way for Mindwipe to carry these weapons instead of just holding them in his hands all the time.

    Since I've envisioned this character as a bounty hunter I picture him to have a sash that goes across his body that can hold his weapons like this:

    How should I go about creating this.

    I'm not too particular about the material I use so long as it can hold all of the 5mm and C-Clip weapons I want to plug into it.

    All thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Assemble Lego pieces as shown in image, superglue them into shape, and let dry. (2X Part 4244627, 1X Part 4556158, 1X Part 302301)

    2. Once the glue is dry, sand off the 4 exposed pegs.
    3. Drill a 5mm hole in the middle.
    4. Create multiples and link to desired length. (The sanded (stud) side faces outward.)

    Since I'm not a Lego guy, I have my own question: where can you shop for individual pieces such as those? I'm sure there's some place out there...

    Just Google "buy LEGO parts" and there's a whole lot of them. Some examples below.

    Pick A Brick | LEGO Shop (LEGO Store's Pick A Brick service)
    LEGO Parts | Brick Owl - LEGO Marketplace (BrickOwl, best selection so far+dirt cheap)
    https://www.bricklink.com/browseTree.asp?itemType=P (Bricklink's Buy Parts page)

    SWEET! thanks for the lego websites. I was just asking this the other day. I just want to get like 100 bricks so I can build mold holder things since you can make any size and height with Lego.

    Interesting concept. I tried it out with the spare lego parts I had when I was younger and it's certainly a quick and cheap design. However, I'm not sure it's exactly what I'm looking for. Legos are too rigid and I want this weapons holster/sash to be more fluid, almost fabric like.

    I was sort of picturing something like Dr Wu's AOE Hound kit:

    Obviously it needs to be wider to accomidate 5mm pegs and thicker to hold C Clip weapons but maybe a long strip of rubber with plastic rings in the middle to hold 5mm weapons?

    Like this:
