Gimp, yes :) The basis of the design for a triangulation style came from Bill Mills. I then worked out that by leaving a safety amount of material around the main parts I could break through in certain areas. Under the barrel and behind the sear under the valve are the two areas that are possible.
The 3D shape that you can see is dictated by the internal parts. I'm going to be milling as close to them as possible but leaving material for anno :) The material will be minimum thickness all over.
I am at the moment changing it slightly because if we bore out the body then I can have a different annodised sleeve inside the body which you could see through the windows or you could see the valve through certain windows. You can make out how that would look at the back, but I am also going to extend that affect futher forwards, right to the front of the valve.
