Are your grooming wires just different gauge wire straightened for the purpose? Do you do much pinning to hold the wings in place? Looks like you applied a paste to the inside of the skin as you were sewing. Standard hide paste like you would use on a deer? Thanks. I admire your work

Do you make the bodies or purchase them? Can you tell me from what company you get them and what is the material used to make them?

Hey Breton.... I carve all my own bodies, the blue foam you see is a high density construction foam. they come in big blocks and I buy them from construction suppliers in town.

You can slow down the video with KZbin settings, if that's what you need.
