Hello,
A while ago somebody asked about my seatbelts and buckles. The truth is: I'm cheap! Yes, photoetch are better but they are expensive and usually you can barely see them anyways. So if the belts I'm doing are going to be hard to see, I do my own buckles from styrene and belts from masking tape. The whole process takes about 3 minutes so I did a short timelapse video. Hope this helps seeing how I do it. At the end it needs to be painted etc. Of course there are many ways to skin a cat. This is by no means the only or even the best way to do this.
Thanks,
Ismael

That’s how I’ve been making mine! I’m way too cheap to spend $7-8/seat on aftermarket belts.
