They use leather under the embossing to raise it. I, 've never tried i but i did get the ebook off of the Tandy site. I don't know if they still have it listed Good tip. I prefer hard copy of references, but anymore they're harder and harder to find. Sucks being an analog man living in a digital world. Quote
Members RidgebackCustoms Posted Friday at 04:56 PM Author Members Report Posted Friday at 04:56 PM New portrait. I'm fascinated by the biographies that The Fat Electrician keeps putting together. Latest portrait is COL Bob Howard. Bob is the most decorated Green Beret of all time. That sentence is staggering when you take into account the breadth of men and valorous actions accounted for in the subset "every green beret ever". Hard to say where the discrepancies are between the portrait and the picture in this case. Off the cuff I think the skin texture is too smooth. On the next one I'm going to try the sandpaper trick (320 grit) to give some texture to the skin. Open to critique as always. Quote
