Those look very nice like the color to I like the fat guy thing to sometimes I feel so left out but not now !  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. 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

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 .

yes i did and thank you , it isnt a true pancake but similar it is flat on the backside and only formed on the front to the firearm. They ride nice and flat against the hip like a pancake. That's my 1911 in the picture and why i made the first one lol.

 

thank you

Thanks 

Well I like your design and think it goes perfect with the 1911 style of pistol.

Excellent. Can I see the back of the holster? Are they made from two pieces like a pancake? If so, do you cut the front larger than the back?

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.
