Thread: The French Love of A Mouton Rouge (by moutonrouge)

I thought of sticking to a thread that will contain my experiments, alterations and other "loves" rather than having these dispersed / scattered in various threads. It will offer a more continuous and homogeneous outlook, easier to critique, explain and exemplify for whoever might be interested into my twisted ideas.
Because I brushed shoulder with various alarmed /outraged / distressed opinions, I feel obliged to introduce a disclaimer:

* * * this is not restoring but experimenting, any resemblance with authentic collector items is purely accidental * * *

Just to get quickly through my last experiment: this made the subject of recycling some previously made scales to make fit better a French blade into a French style (objective - the use of some forgotten end caps and inlaying shields of a rather complex shape into MOP). Grade of complexity - not very high but close enough

It started from here
