Thanks guys for the feedback.

Dan ~ There are 2 sizes of feathers. The larger (I worked on today) go on the bottom row and the smaller feathers fill out the top row.

Joe ~ Tartans are rough too. Been working on one for months now.

Jay ~ Finially finished the tartan on the Celt.......whew....glad its done.

Looks really good to me Guy,

It took 2 days to assemble the bustle and another 2 days to build the roach. Overall the effect was worth the effort and it turned out well.

Here is the start of the roach with the first clump of hair epoxyed to the front of the roach pad.

Here is how I have set up my work bench with a box to set the vise on ( puts the head closer to work on) and a small vise to hold the bust in place. I use a dremel vise to hold another tool to help support the hair while the epoxy sets.

After 2 days........finished, but yet to be painted roach.

Dry fitting the bustle to the back to check fitment with the roach.

** continued in next post **

The raoch has been painted and drybrushed with white at the tips.

Now there are several small Owl feathers and 2 Eagle feathers to attach to the head.

WOW! I can see now why it took so much effort! Well worth it though. I think the shape and effect of it are perfect. It really comes to life with the paint. Good stuff Guy!

Hi Guy

You did a great job on this one, I noticed when you were building this one, it was quite a difficult piece to get together...

Great

Dave

 

[Guy]

Thanks Dave for the kind words. It was a difficult figure as you had to drill for all the bustle feathers as well as do the roach by hand after cutting the strands to the right legnth. But I think it was well worth the effort.

 

[Sambaman]

Well worth the effort! The bustle and roach make this a very dynamic piece for sure! Cool stuff!
