[tboysmashing]

how do you place the stones , i mean , i find it a pain in the ass to place 2 mil> stones , i tried it , and when i breath they nwill just blow away , how do you do it?

[Russ5144]

@tboysmashing - carefully fill the well(s) with your glue first, then set the stone(s) using a jewelers wax stick - ... if you're breathing so heavily that your stones are blowing away, then you might want to see a doctor.

[tboysmashing]

@Russ5144 sorry , i mean putting them in with hotfix , you know , glass stones that you have to warm and then de glue melts and then it stayes in lace , and whats a wax stick *ashamed*

[Russ5144]

@tboysmashing - you shouldn't be using hotfix, that's usually used for cloth.

this is a jewelers wax stick - dreamtimecreations(dot)com/6-j­ewelers-wax-stick-n-a/

[RobinKimballBrand]

on the outer plates I see you made it silver behind the crystals and behind the WWE on the inner side plates, how did you do it? paint, or scrape? or whatever, I wanna do mine, thanks

[Russ5144]

@RobinKimballBrand - I used a Krylon silver leafing pen.

[ShashayTV]

are the gold stones around the wwe logo able to be put on a kids size replica?

[Russ5144]

@ShashayTV - I don't know, I've never seen a kids size in person. You could try measuring the stones already in there... if they're around 5.27-5.44 mm then they should fit. If not, you may need smaller.

[PaulMartinBelts]

Very, very nice. Looks fantastic just incredibly done, have always wanted to do this to mine but just dont have the money to spend on it, I plan on doing replacements on some of my other belts with less stones ie Big Eagle. You did a great job on this and are the proud owner of the best spinner replica around haha :)

[Russ5144]

@PaulMartinBelts - Ha, it's almost there... I still need to get these plates on some real leather though.

[21gazz]

in lame mans terms what have you done to midify this ???

[Russ5144]

@21gazz -

-All 2400+ plastic stones have been replaced with real Swarovski crystals.

-The hollow side plates have been weighted to help balance the belt a little more since the main plate weighs so much.

-Some of the plain gold areas behind the small square diamonds have been painted in with silver leaf to make them stand out more.

-Underscore in main logo has been painted over with a slightly darker metallic red for more contrast.

-The logo has been locked in place and won't spin anymore.

[21gazz]

@Russ5144 does look sweet to be fair, nice belt prob the best replica out there

[Russ5144]

@21gazz - Thanks! It's not perfect, but I think it looks better with the more reflective stones... Plus, I learned a little bit along the way, and now if anyone wants to try something like this, I have a basic list of stone sizes/cuts for this replica, so others don't have to waste time/$ figuring it out.

[21gazz]

@Russ5144 ive just completed mine an yes they do look alot better for it, (check my vid an see what ya think)

i may remove the silver that i used to do the backing an use a krylon pen

[imranbecks]

With that silver tip on, it looks really close to mine except mine is on a releathered strap.. But yours take the cake for having it with real stones and diamonds!!!! Beautiful!!!!!

[Russ5144]

@imranbecks - I actually don't care so much for the silver tip in general... the previous owner I originally bought the belt from had a gold tip on it, and really chopped up the strap underneath, so I just replaced it with a silver one to cover it up because a silver tip looks better than gold on this belt IMO.

[tanner102098]

Dude that belt is freakin amazing......love that shine off of it......did you say you were getting it releathered on your last video? If so by who?

[Russ5144]

@tanner102098 - I have an order placed for a re-leather replacement kit from J-Mar, I've been waiting for a few months now, and will probably be waiting even longer. :/

[imranbecks]

@Russ5144 Yeah.. J-Mar is pretty slow.... You should get it releathered by Paul Martin... I recommend him coz I have mine releathered by him and the strap he did was superb...

[Russ5144]

@imranbecks - Yeah, Paul's work has quickly become some of the best out there, but he's in the UK and back & forth shipping to the US could get expensive... there are a few guys here in the US that do great work as well; but what's done is done I suppose, and now I play the waiting game.

@Russ5144 lukkyhandz mate 

[Ausbelt]

Looks great! Do you plan on putting yellow diamonds on the inner side plates?

[Russ5144]

@Ausbelt - No... were there any in the real one? I was contemplating getting another spinner piece and doing the WWE logo in a "golden shadow" type tint to try and mimic the one currently on TV, but finding an extra one has proved difficult. ...and I don't want to have to get another belt, swap the piece, re-sell the old one, deal with ebay, etc.

[Ausbelt]

@Russ5144 Yeah, I think there were. But there have been so many different variations of the spinner since it's debut. Just go with whatever you think looks best.

[Russ5144]

@Ausbelt - also, I have to take what I can get... many of these stones sizes/cuts don't come in any other color but crystal.

[TommyRanson]

That looks incredible!! Definitely needs a re-leather and it will be one of the nicest replicas I've ever seen. And I'm a complete belt mark. :) amazing!!

[Russ5144]

@TommyRanson - Thanks!

[AJP102]

That is just beautiful with the modifications. Great job man.

[Russ5144]

@AJP102 - Thanks!

[jaguar94able]

It shines. :)
