Weathered Mal holster

[Badger]

Here's a pre-QMx Mal holster rig I made.

I wanted to see how it looks after being dragged behind the Mule for a couple of miles
Nah, seriously? It's a weathered sample rig. I was trying out ideas.

The weathering is done with hands, flat files, sandpaper and beeswax. Instant ageing

If anyone is interested in this piece feel free to PM me about it.

Few more.

Added one with my 47A in it.

I like it! Does it look more used in person?

[Badger]

Yeah, the camera always washes out weathering detail. It's more generally abused in person, loads of tiny scratches and wear, polished high points, etc. The leather has been 'broken' to soften it and create the deep creases on the belt and thumb break. The edges have all been 'knocked' and polished to simulate years of bumping into things.

I would consider this 'medium' weathering.

Oh, the belt is an early proto too, way better quality leather than normal, very tough. It was hard to break it to the point it would look weathered at all

That looks amazing. If I had any extra cash at all right now, I would be PMing about this.

PM'd

Here's another example of Badger's awesome handiwork.

This one was dragged all the way from the UK, across the pond to SDCC, and then back again.

A very convincing piece.

Would mine be considered 'heavy' weathering compared to yours?

[Badger]

Nah,
Medium heavy.

You can still tell what colour it started out
