Popular Post FrankEV Posted December 19, 2024 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19, 2024 (edited) My Barbers (a Father/Son operation) are big time gun enthusiasts who, after seeing some of my work, ask me if I could make something to hang in their shop…the walls of which, are filled with all kinds of signs, pictures, and the like. All things about Hunting, Guns, and Motorcycles plus Police Patches, lots of Pin-ups and much more. To get a feel of what kind of things are on their wall, one of the signs reads “Notice! Ammunition is getting too expensive, so there will be no warning shots. I found an image online that met with what I was asked to make. I created this 9 x 12 inch ‘Gun-In-Hand’ pattern for an Intarsia like painted Segmental piece. The pattern was cut from one piece of 10-inch wide, nominal 3/4" thick, premium pine. I painted the individual pieces with Acrylic Air Brush Paints. After Painting, the pieces were glued onto a 1/8-inch-thick BB Ply backer. The completed assembly was protected with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish spray. Comments and critiques always welcome Edit: I am not posting the pattern in the Pattern Exchange as I normally do, because it not for all. However, I will gladly share it with anyone who might like to have it. Juat message me. It is a good project for anyone wanting to practice their Air Brush skills.

preprius Posted December 19, 2024 Report Share Posted December 19, 2024 that is really cool looking. The grey shadowing on hand can show he has a lot of gun shot residue. danny and FrankEV 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted December 29, 2024 Report Share Posted December 29, 2024 absolutely amazing. I don't think I could even copy the pattern. It could not be better than this. Truly fabulous project. I bet you could sell the pattern quite easily. Dick heppnerguy FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted December 30, 2024 Report Share Posted December 30, 2024 Yeah, in this day and time guns are a touchy subject. As a youth I had so much fun with my 22 rifle I can't imagine not having all the great memories. I lived in an old coal mining town. We had so much fun shooting cans and bottles we'd thrown in old coal mining ponds before they could sink. The last one to get a shot on a can before it sank was the winner. Regardless of the subject you did a marvelous job on that, especially the painting. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
