LOL nice work thanks Yea i made the first one for myself lol not fat just fluffy lol. The dye gave me fits on the first one, i dyed it then when i wet molded it got all mottled. Then i used feibing golden mink oil on it and that helped clear it up some. Then the other two i wet molded then airbrushed the dye and they came out much better.

Contributing Member Samalan Posted December 10, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted December 10, 2021 I always dye after wet mold and whatever I'm making is very dry and only air brush now some exceptions to this but not many I have found time is the most important part of everything coming out right letting things dry well before the next step .

Here ya go as you can see the back remains fairly flat in fact it wraps around your hip some when you get it formed for the belt loops, some bulge on revolvers but not much. Yes they are two piece and yes the front is larger than the back, i posted a few pictures of the pattern making process i used a quite a while back on an earlier thread.
