I'm new to customizing. I see alot of 1/18 figs weapons with great looking slings, does anyone have any tips or pointers on what to use and how to make them?

I've been using these little plastic hair ties that you can get at any store. They're thin, black plastic bands. You can tie them to the stock as a one-point sling. Not perfect, but they look pretty good and are the best I've got for now. Marauder (marauderinc.com) makes weapons with two-point slings but only certain guns. If you come up with something better, let me know.

What I bought are Goody's, from the "hair" section at Target. That's the only kind of gotten. They're real cheap so it's no problem to try it. Getting them onto the guns is the hard part. You know when you have a rubber band around something and you loop it in on itself to make kind of a know? I did that. I tried cutting the bands and gluing them to make the slings but the super glue just wouldn't take the plastic.

I save the plastic rubber band-like things that most action figures come with in their packaging now. If you've bought the Joes vehicles, you know what I'm talking about. You can paint them, cut them to a suitable length, and superglue them to the weapon. Not perfect, but better than nothing.

I've never seen slings on their site. They must be sold out.
