  1. I have decided to Antique Paste my Tooling followed by airbrush/painted detail. I will apply Neatsfoot Oil prior to a resist. My problem is that I can't find a 'Resist' to buy here in France where I live to apply prior to applying the Fiebings Antique Paste. I'm ordering the 'Fiebings Acrylic Resolene' for a finish. Question: Can this be used as an initial resist before applying the Antique paste? Thanks in advance for any advice help.
  2. Thank you. Just started to lace the Pillion pad which is tricky but it's all going well. I'll post some further pics once I make more serious progress.
  3. Hi Everyone, I've been making myself a new saddle and Pillion pad for the arrival of our HarleyTrike in September. The last seat I made and showed on this forum was about 10 years ago! This is far more complex and I'm really enjoying getting back into Leatherwork now I have the time. I've designed everything myself and now finished the tooling. I will lace the passenger pad now with 5mm Kangaroo Lace. I intend to paint/highlight some of the design details by brush before final lacing of the saddle and moulding to the seat base. Then I will airbrush to finish. Here's some pictures of my work so far.
  4. Since making my Harley Motorcycle a solo seat a year and a half ago I decided to make a passenger 'pillion seat' with a small backrest pad to match. This meant I had to boost the colour on my solo so everthing matched so I had to re-airbrush parts of my original seat where the colour had faded. I have never made either of these items before but I'm very pleased with how everything has worked out. Here are the pictures.
  5. Very neat tooling and the seat looks quality. Your client should be really pleased with the result.
  6. I like the seat you've made and the colour looks good. Troy, what size holes do you make for your lacing, and what width of lace? Thxs Phil
  7. A wonderful looking piece of work with beautiful detail.
