    Went back down to Royal Kustoms today and decided to have another go at laying the scallops (my head, Jim's hands) as after staring at the first attempt for a couple of weeks, I figured we could do better. Here's a couple of shots of the end result with apologies for the faint stripes and picture quality, but there was only white tape knocking around.I've tried to soften the angles a bit so they flow better with the body lines. Be interested to find out if you guys prefer these or my previous attempt.

    That is tremendous progress! I admire what you've done, and what it will become.

    not sure about the forward-facing scallops. Kinda too busy and awkward.

    i'm not a fan of scallops either, i'd rather see it in (lace) panels. scallops tend to break up the overall shape and that ones got a nice shape... :)
     
  28. I like it, but the tape line that goes down the length of the hood, past and across the cowl, and down the door might look better if it followed evenly along the fender line rather than straight back horizontally...more like the tape line over the rear fender? Could also use this to move the scallops a bit further forward to open up the area between the rearward/forward facing scallops...

    The forward facing scallops are going to be crazy...though I would be a bit concerned about the "maze" that may appear after the contrast from the colors...

    Can't wait to see this come along!!

    I've always wanted scallops, and lace is a little erm,...'late' for the effect I'm going for. But, so is flake I s'pose........ Aw, whatever, I just like it is all. She's not going to be period perfect, just traditionaly inspired.
