Members Chakotay Posted November 14, 2019 Members Report Posted November 14, 2019 I made this holster for Halloween on a whim... The skull is 3d printed out of white ABS so as it wears it will just show off more of the "bone". Quote
Members blue62 Posted November 14, 2019 Members Report Posted November 14, 2019 Very nice, quite unique Quote
Members noobleather Posted November 14, 2019 Members Report Posted November 14, 2019 WOW !!Awesome build!! I would love to shoot cowboy single action with a couple of holsters like that! Any details on the skull print? and attaching it to the holster?? Do you sell the skulls? What other skull designs have you printed? Quote
Members Chakotay Posted November 14, 2019 Author Members Report Posted November 14, 2019 Thanks! The skull was from Thingiverse. It's Celtic style, so it has scrollwork on it which I thought would go well with the tooling: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2834954 I had to modify it in Meshmixer by cutting off the back and giving it the curvature of the holster. I also added a flange: then sliced it in Slic3r: The holster is fully-lined. I cut a window in the outer leather smaller than the flange. Once the liner was glued on I sewed around the flange to "lock" it in. I then dyed and weathered per normal. Quote
wizard of tragacanth Posted November 14, 2019 Report Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) That is a gorgeous project. I am not a skull guy myself, but the whole design works. I love everything about it... the muted colors, the unfinished edges, the carving, the "antique" buckle matching the colors... everything. nick Edited November 14, 2019 by wizard of tragacanth Quote Wisdom from an old Missouri farmer, my Grandpa: If it's not sharp, it's not a knife.
