Members bladegrinder Posted March 10, 2023 Members Report Posted March 10, 2023 Here's a two tone 1911 pancake holster I just finished, I think I finally have the 1911 pattern down. Thanks for looking... Quote
Members Gezzer Posted March 10, 2023 Members Report Posted March 10, 2023 YEP , I'd say you have both the 1911 and the two tone down VERY NICELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 10, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted March 10, 2023 Looks purdy good. Still, I'd sew it right along there ... Quote
Members Hags Posted March 10, 2023 Members Report Posted March 10, 2023 Very pretty and well done. I agree with the perimeter stitching as well. But still, very well done. Quote

Dang it, I knew someone would pick up on that! ha, ha. somehow I didn't pick up on that until I was air brushing the resolene on it. I did do the double line stitch around the gun without messing that up though so I'm getting there! Quote
Members bladegrinder Posted March 10, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2023 I'd never be making stuff like this without learning on this forum and the help I've gotten from you folks...Thanks everyone! Quote
Members PastorBob Posted March 10, 2023 Members Report Posted March 10, 2023 Beautifully done. I haven't had time to investigate the airbrush or invest in the equipment yet. I purchased the items for the vacuum system, but have yet to even unbox it. Hopefully in the next month, I can get to it. Quote
Members Bert03241 Posted March 11, 2023 Members Report Posted March 11, 2023 I really love that look and 2 tone combo, looks very professional Quote
Members Fraulein Posted March 16, 2023 Members Report Posted March 16, 2023 Love that two tone look. Excellent work! Finish seems really high gloss, wondering how you got that effect. Is that just from airbrushing the resolene? Also, is the bottom closed or open? Curious how you did it as I struggle with how to close off the bottom on pancake holsters and usually end up leaving it open for lack of a better method. ~Frau~ Quote

Members doubleh Posted March 16, 2023 Members Report Posted March 16, 2023 Nice and I agree about the sewing but it's an easy fix. Although It isn't my "thing" you did a great job on the two toning. Quote

Thanks Chuck, I thought about doing that after the fact but kind of scared I'd mess something up. I'm still not real good with that machine and I figured I'd be best to leave this where it is, still learning from mistakes but thankfully I'm a quick learner...I'm hoping. 8 hours ago, doubleh said: Nice and I agree about the sewing but it's an easy fix.
