Well I'm impressed with you work, the stitching is very well done. You're right about the CS holster, aging and sanding will make it more clear. How ever I have some reference pictures of the screen used holster and it is almost ridicules how clear the gun imprint is. I can't share the pictures, I p...

Hi Jake, that's a very nice CS holster you make. Are they hand sewn or do you use a machine? The indentation of the gun could be much stronger if absolute SA is required. The hero holster actually has a almost complete relief of the gun on the front. The Riders holster is slightly off in the general...

They recovered nicely from your abuse my friend, but as Michaelson said:" At least you did the right thing by them" It's the best pair of shoes I ever had, I'm so happy that I jumped in when the first batch was ordered. I haven't see a pair of shoes with that much attention to detail since...

Over all on color in pics. You can never trust the color in pictures, the camera, the lighting, the white point setting etc. will all have drastic influence on the picture. Then there's the monitor you watch the image on and the operating system, Windows uses a gamma value of 2.2 and Apple uses 1.8 ...

Thank you Chris, it's a real privilege to have my holster displayed like that.
How about a pic of the whole mannequin?

You are correct about the aging process, it's a mix of Pecards, sun and usage thats darkens the leather.

In a very near future we will offer gun belts. Bag straps is still in the works, it's not easy to find good leather in the lengths needed for straps especially if the backside has to be smooth. We're working on it.

Oh yes, we also carry the CS roller buckle. I'll get some pics up later.

The buckle is still 3.15 + shipping and the shirts will be available through me shortly. Because of the extreme workload Marc is facing I will be taking orders for shirts and buckles in the future. For those who already have ordered shirts or buckles directly from Marc pleas hold your horses until w...

Denatured alcohol and acetone/lacquer thinner will take anything off the leather. I've used both to lighten leather over the years. The denatured alcohol is less potent than the acetone, so I would try that first. Sometimes the leather is a weird color under the dye so after you strip it down some ...

K on the run

Nice comparison pic Craig. I'm happy that that you like it. The distressing will disappear more or less if you give it Pecard. So be careful. How ever the Pecard treatment in combination with sun vill darken it. You can always "re-distress" it with some very fine sandpaper, grain 300 or mo...

I'm not sure if we're going to offer belts with the whip holder attached. I would rather offer them as a set and then people can fix the holder to the belt if they desire. It's difficult to get the whip holder attached at the exact right spot. We're all different and the preferred place fir the whip...

I suspected it was a Morgan :D I have a cotton cloth saturated with Pecards that I use for my Aldens, I keep it in a zip bag between use. Just give them a good wipe when they look dry or needs cleaning. Never apply it if they are wet, let them dry at their own pace then give them some Pecard from th...

K on the run

Welcome aboard Mr. Kent
That's two good looking pieces of gear you have there. Who made your whip?
The shoes will probably darken some over time, you don't have to use colored shoe polish. Use Pecard, it will condition the leather without coloring it to much.

Kim

You can do the same with mine.

Location Denmark.
Bare metal finish. Parts fitted, I'll do the final sanding my self
Barrel style: drilled.

For a very long time Adventurebilt has been looking high and low for belt buckles and bag strap buckles. We gave up on the bag strap buckles and made our own but the quest for the gun belt buckle was never abandoned completely. And now the quest is finally over. We found not only the gun belt buckle...

Very odd. The two that I got from different sets are identical to each other. And the ball on the end is perfectly round. Pretty unusual for an error. No not really. When the injection molding machine is set up the correct (or in this case incorrect) of plastic is set so every piece gets exactly th...

K on the run

I was right, only one whip design was made.
The reason for the round butt is not enough plastic in the mold.
In fact if you get whips with this flaw you should bring it to LEGO's attention.

You sure about that? Of the 5 sets I got, 2 different ones had the round end.

Well, no... Not any more

I'll check up on it.
