Here are a couple of pics of a Colt single action I've been working on. It is still in progress but I thought you all might like to take a look! This is for a serious Colt afficianado & I was given "carte blanche" in regards to the design etc. Sometimes that's harder than when a client has a specific concept. In this case I chose western art as the theme. Remington, Russell & Frank McCarty paintings and bronzes have been the inspiration for the vignettes. The work is raised & sculpted gold, relief sculpted steel, flush gold, inlayed copper, silver & 14K rose gold. Hope to be through someday soon!!
Thanks & hope you enjoy,

Weldon

Weldon,

WOW!.....That is one great looking Colt. I love the western flair. You'll have to let me know if you do a show in my area, I'd like to see your work first hand.

Bill,

I am planning to be at the Texas Gun Collector's fall show in San Antonio at the La Vieta Assembly Hall. I believe it's in September. It's a great show if you like vintage stuff!
Thanks & I would love to see you there,

Weldon

Weldon,
Change your name to "Well Done"...
Very nice! As stated in the other posts, the first thing that came to mind was Frank Hendricks as well. That's a VERY nice look!

Wow! I like that! As a kid in the 50's and 60's like the song goes"My Hero's have always been Cowboys". I would run home from school to watch westerns every night.
The Colts look great!

Thanks for the vote of confidence! It would be cool to see it on a mag cover for sure! I'll post pics of the completed gun when I'm done. Thanks for looking!
