Spinner Report post Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Hey Folks, this is the first full project I have made in leather. Actually, it was the first thing I have made in leather ever. I did one practice piece to make sure I had the basics at least understood and then jumped in. I enjoyed the project so I have purchased a number of books and tools and plan to have more to show soon after I practice, practice, practice! So in the spirit of sharing, here is something to show: pic 1 - test piece pic 2 - side view pic 3 - top view (not a great picture, but shows the basic design) What I learned - lacing is spread too far apart & too thick, Testor's model paint works nicely, I need to be more creative in my 'fill areas', the piece wasn't quite cased enough for the background area so it doesn't show up as well. Things to improve next time! steer_head.bmp seat_top.bmp steer_head.bmp seat_top.bmp steer_head.bmp seat_top.bmp Edited June 3, 2009 by Spinner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
