Nice work. Thank you, the hummingbird is from an image brought into Photoshop sized, cleaned up. and fit on a scan of the part. I am thinking of doing a video of the work flow as it opens up many possibilities. 7 hours ago, MarshalWill said: That's a pretty cool design. Very good work. Your friend should like it a lot.

DieselTech Report post Posted February 13 Thanks. Yeah I photoshop images on my phone & change a few things to get a good trace off for leather carvings. Lol my only problem is I'm limited to the size of my tracings only using my phone. Nice work! I'm a sucker for hummingbirds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
