MADMAX22 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 Interested to see what your making with it. That does look like alot of detail painting. I dont even think I could lay out that pattern without messing it up lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penden Report post Posted May 22, 2010 Interested to see what your making with it. That does look like alot of detail painting. I dont even think I could lay out that pattern without messing it up lol. I will post when it is done - hubby is the one constructing it. It's going to be a waist cincher with belts in the front. The circle in the center will be at the middle of the lady's back. I drew out half of it free hand, straightened some of the parralell lines, then used a lightbox and markers to make the other half exactly the same. It took 4 sheets of paper taped together! Then that went on the tracing paper, then finally unto the leather - then the three hours of painting. That's how I laid it out with very few mistakes. There are a few places that don't look quite the mirror image but it's all good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
