Wing Progress, Pt. 3

Foam, foam, foam. Craft foam has a really weird smell that gets into everything it touches it seems. Did a lot of cutting and gluing last night, and the end result is what you see below. One wing is now entirely covered, hooray!

The next step, besides getting the other wing covered, is to sand down offending edges, and create details in the feathers. Unfortunately the pictures don't show much of the detail, as all the feathers are blending in together, but the whole inside face is individually cut and glued feathers.


Probably going to get the other wing done first, then just go to town with the sanding. I need to make some adjustments along the area of the sockets, but that's just fine tuning at this point.


I was worried that the skeleton would not provide enough rigidity, but I made the bottom feathers out of two layers of craft foam glued together, and that seems to be fairly solid. Give it a couple of layers of paint, and it should have almost no wobbles.
