Denni_87 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thank you @Stick486 As you know, I am not a pro. It took me more than a week to complete this. For me, details are really important. I don't do bigger items like tables and chairs. But I have started a new project to do a custom chair. I am already on it. As soon as I complete, I'll post the picture here. This is my first try on bigger items... Cal and Stick486 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
