Alex C. 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2006 Well heres where I'm at on a Praying Mantis I started yesterday. Still have to tie in the wings, front legs and head. I've got the Graham paint scheme going on It's about 75mm long tied on 2 Daiichi 4XL streamer hooks cut and bent to shape. Heading out to New York on Tuesday so I'll probably take it with me and finish it out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2006 AWESOME was the first word that came to mind when your mantis photo popped up, truly awesome. Man, you really nailed the shape and proportions, I bet the finished fly will be incredible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stony 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 did you ever finish this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex C. 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 It's just about finished, all I need to do is tie the front legs on, (they're already built), and the pronatum, and it'll be done. It got put on hold due to my family moving from Michigan to NY. I'll probably finish it pretty soon. Got a spider I need to finish for a customer first though. I'll definatly post pics when it's finished though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: Looks fantastic Alex, everything, including the coloring. I most like the legs, they look fluid and in motion, often flies have stiff legs that don't imply motion, and bent exactly the same way on both sides of the body, your's look alive and active. Great job!!! Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
