I love it awesome idea.
liked the original stockings though.

beautiful work.

almost a month but I spent some time looking into the mechanics of the machine before I did any work.

Thanks for the good words,
looking to get working in a shop with or without an apprenticeship.
though I prefer with.

the key

Almost forgot hildbrandt .444 marlin and 44mag.

I used white ink with different amounts of the color desired added to it till i got the effect I was looking for. Then dropt the value as needed to get different shades, worked awesome for me and I worked the dark areas in first using petroleum jelly to keep them from mixing were it was undesired light to dark would have been easier

Looks great!

Thank’s, It was fun to try using some colors I used three different shades of blue and white to highlight.
the pic doesn’t show off all the values.

Thanks, we added the shading on a whim just thought it would make it pop.
I will have to practice working with shadows a little more.

Thanks for the reply I didn’t use any gray wash, whip shaded it and I agree it should have been diluted for a softer effect though it did heal lighter on the shading
