I started working on my kimber 1911 .45 today. From the one photo you can see that I'm dividing the one side of the slide into two distinct areas that will get filled with a similar scroll design.
I transferred these area to a practice plate and paper working out a design. I really want to fill these areas with complete coverage that the english style scroll affords. Plus I like the look of it. And I'm not real keen on a design that requires background removal
My practice plate is just the heavier cuts I plan to make. I do plan to add some light shading to the leaves of the scroll to add a little more dimension to.
My question for you is whether you like the overall flow of the scrolls. The one area I'm not 100% sold on is the lower right that's just larger leaf type structures.
I thought about adding a scroll off the larger scroll on that side, but I thought it looked a little too crowded.
