Paul Whillock, a master of the realistic fly, tapes a sheet of clear raffene over a life-size print of the wing being imitated. He then uses varnish or superglue to glue porcupine quill, stripped cock hackle, etc to create the major veins.

Hi Steelie,

 

this was what i was looking for. I tought of using this methode but did not know there was already someone that was doing this.

 

I wil sertenly try, looks like really realistic.

 

Nice to help each other and a forum like this is irreplecable.

 

 

Kind regards Martin

Martin - These may not be as realistic as your looking for, but here is a simple semi-realistic (fishing fly quality) method for creating wings.
