    I like what you've done there. Rather than completely depart from the current design, you've incorporated it so well it looks like it was meant to be.

    I don't know about "butchering" a fine piece of history. Your work looks as though it was planned that way when the straight was born. Nice work, very nice.

    Nice, but I prefer a bit more roundfulness on my scales, but since these aren't my scales, it's just fine.
