Moderator immiketoo Posted February 17, 2019 Moderator Report Posted February 17, 2019 My godson has grown into a fine young man who has chosen an honorable profession. When he asked me to make a holster for him, I gladly accepted the job! I hope you like it. Quote
Members Aven Posted February 17, 2019 Members Report Posted February 17, 2019 Well done Mike! Good on your godson for choosing to serve. My uncle was a firefighter in his younger days. I loved and respected him even more when I found out. Quote
Members YinTx Posted February 17, 2019 Members Report Posted February 17, 2019 That turned out fantastic! such intense colors. Is there stitching underneath that to hold the holster shape over time? YinTx Quote

Members Scoutmom103 Posted February 17, 2019 Members Report Posted February 17, 2019 that is very nice. I hope your godson truly enjoys carrying such a beautiful holster. Quote
Members SilverForgeStudio Posted February 17, 2019 Members Report Posted February 17, 2019 @immiketoo - OK so I have tried to "fade" black to blue and an orange to black without much success- still learning... Love the bordering around the piece- do you do the red first then wash the black onto the edges? I am thinking multiple light coats of the black- but hoping you can shed some light on it. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 Another extraordinary piece, Mike. Quote

Usually I leave the darkest color until last, however, with red and black, I do the black first otherwise it rubs off. I start with the lightest part of the fade and work toward the edge which is darkest. That way, any overspray doesn’t go onto the body of the piece. 5 hours ago, bikermutt07 said: Another extraordinary piece, Mike. Thanks everyone! Quote

Members plinkercases Posted February 18, 2019 Members Report Posted February 18, 2019 Very nice indeed. May he never have to draw from it!... unless at a range of course. And I am an H&K fan even when they are blue. Quote
