I love your work Ivo and I echo Colin's sentiments above. Keep at it!

How on earth did you do the fringing on the shabraque? It’s amazing.

Hi Jeff
Not really difficult... A cutter, a ruler and some ( a lot ) patience...
The key is the thickness of the lead foil, it cannot be very thin

 

[Braemp]

Very nice. Good idea using lead foil for the shabraque. I will try that sometime.

Regards Lars

the gun holster was made of base metal modeles , was then molded in resin to have the necessary duplication



the busby has been completed and the clay removed. The different color holsters is due to the different amount of color dissolved in the resin

amazing work.......
