Rough backbone sketch for my first gun

[Willem Parel]

Since we have very strict laws overhere about owning a gun I would appreciate your advise about my layout of one of the few models we can have here.
It's not a heavy kaliber gun and it's not very deadly anymore because my daughter cut holes in the pad so the hunted ones will have a chance to survive (softi....)
But I would not want to degrade the value of the gun because of a bad engraving.
So your opinion is appreciate, am I on the right track with this backbone or should I change it completely.

Make some Ivory grips, and do a bulino of 'The Fly'

If you don't engrave well enough to increase the value of that pistol, I would rethink engraving. LOL

first, you may need a carry permit, as well as approval from the "peta Peeple". i also understand finishes of that color can cause serious impairment of ones' cognitive and overall mental functions.

:beatup:One fundamental tip, scrolls always grow in an alternating manner. You have one spot where the scrolls are growing in the same direction. I'd like to see the job when it's finished!

Is that a flyswatter gun?

Not anymore... it's a flyswatter lottery now.... or perhaps Russian roulette for flies?

Some wheat boarder may help the design and blue the spring for contrast ?????

Hi Willem
Is it safe now to come to you, we have just agreed, but if you are going to start now, with weapons I do not know if it's such a good idea?
I will bring to you some scroll designs and imagine myself safe with a water pistol, after all, you never know! Until later, greetings Caty.

 

[Willem Parel]

Yeah, with all the good advises I think I am not yet ready for guns, so I will go back to the drawing table and practicing for a while.
Oh and Caty, do bring your water pistol with you when you visiting me, we only will scare them....
Thank you all for putting my feet back on the ground again.
