The basic structure (the grey bits) is milliput - the wings are also flattened out milliput.
Milliput dries hard and gives a good base to build the green onto. There is a wire running along the leading edge of the wings - I took a pic - but at the moment can't get the image off the old digi camera.
The legs are three bits of wire twisted and the ends form the claws.

Once again, a masterpiece in the making. Eagles are universal so I can foreseen many uses for them. Keep those WIP's coming... (drools)

Amazing! Are you working on this to be sold, or more of a one-off piece? Wondering what you were doing with your spare time  |

oh - well if it works out then it'll be cast for sale. Don't ask why - I just fancied trying something a little bigger for a change.

what i think would be a great idea is possibly a hooded rider on the back of the eagle. say some form of brown/grey travvielr. ( if i didn't infiect copy right)

Yes that would have been my story for using 'em! I think you should make a saddle as an extra! The more i look at this model the more i love it!!!! Please Ebob try and get this into production soon! I think it'l be a BIG hit! I would be it as soon as its realesed! |

Er-pass on saddles and all that frippery. Several eagles in a range of poses would have far more applications and appeal: I will not name specific genres or settings, but I can certainly see good use for a force of, say, 6 or 7...

Wouldn't happen to be fighting near the Black Gate, eh mate? Cool as Ebob! If you were to get this baby cast, two questions: How many pieces would it come in? And roughly how much would you be able to sell it to us for? ;D |
