Monte style scrolls?

[Adam Tracksler]

Anyone have some closeups/ various angles for a Monte style scroll?

Thanks, ad

The closest thing i have to an actual Monty scroll is a few pictures of John showing off his Radio City here in town a while back. Still waiting to get a real G.A. on the bench for some serious study. Until then here are a couple of ones i've made. John said they are a little too big, and when compared to his Radio City, he's right. It's a tough one to get right without actually tracing one !

looks nice,Mandoborg

Skip Kelly put up some pics of one he did recently, it was a bad mamba-jamba!

[Adam Tracksler]

those are great mandoborg, can you take some from the side and back?

[Mandoborg]

Ad, i don't have any side shots, but this one is by John Garrity, and Incredibly talented builder that went missing in action a few years back. I miss him terribly, he has such talent and a wonderful eye for detail.

This here is the back of the Pumpkin top .
Jon Mann also has a really nice looking Monty-style over on page 87 of the ' Work in progress ' thread . go check it out as well..
