terrome 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 Diffuseness is one of the basics of realistic tying, flies should be distinguished by their details and when we see we should see it like a real bug and not something that resembles. The care and detail in the legs, antennas and any other appendage is often much more important than the body itself, as it is they give a natural look to our flies. It is not bad to apply outside techniques, but neither is any merit, all tyiers have good techniques and this is what set them apart from others,for this they must find themselves, so that flies have the stamp of oneself, and this requires skill and dexterity, which is accomplished with years. We should always want more, try to be original in their proposals, leaving the shadow of others, within their abilities and seek to be Mozart and not to be Salieri. The following fly have not resin,have not epoxi,have not third party techniques, only own techniques.The all materials is tied to the hook Abdomen and thorax:foam and latex Underbody:Foam and japanese legs for extended body Legs:Japanese legs,hackle and thread for the the "thigh" recovered with head cement Antennae and jaws:japanese legs Regards Terrome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
