RJD31 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2006 Amazingly realistic! Approximately how much time do you have invested? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andreas 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2006 thanks guys!! It's underbody is built with dubbing and tying thread. The body is then wrapped with ostrich herl. Wings cut from a suitable material, and legs of slightly heated/bent micro-chenille. Thats it! Doesn't take too long either, 2-3 hours the first time maybe?

Alex C. 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2006 Thanks Andreas, thats what I figured but wasn't sure what you used for the wings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andreas 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2006 Unfortunately, I'm not really sure what the wings are! Otherwise I would have spesified it I used some old artificial caddis-wings I got from "somewhere" several years ago, and just cut them to fit. -Andreas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
