Shop happening's

[kermet]

Okay Friends, Yep been busy on the mallard, Thanks Guys for the likes and comments keeps me a making. So I am a bunch farther along I forgot to get pics before shutting down the shop a bit late out there. this burning I wish there was another way but its not it has to be burned. I am already attaching feathers I now have all the left side done which I will catch a pic or two of that progress in the morning Here is some but not all but progress is happening Enjoy

Os the way all these feathers lay they will have to be burned on both sides Yep lots of burning but you can see it all when attached so lots of work in burning

Yep left over sparkler wood it helped hold the feathers apart

Okay Guys I did get all the attached feathers done and attached to the left side as said I will share them which I will more than like;y have the right side done as well I also did some putty work to fill everything in and tight left side looks cool now for the right side more burning then attchment begins a bit done but going backwards is hard getting the feathers to flow rite is easer from the front burning front to back not back to the front more to happen on this so lets see what happens next this duck just might just fly away hope with the duck lady Thanks Jim

That one looks really good. Is that the 2nd duck, or are you on three?

Okay Friends, Thanks a bunch for the cool comments and likes very much needed as I makest along really helps the spirit of making. This is what RPF is about. So lots of burning and later this evening I had to stop me old eye type balls was getting hard to see, all those lines start running into each other. But I am now able to switch back to burning the right way from the front heading to the back and it is a bit quicker. Just keeping the lines from running into each other break time when that starts to happen this duck it getting close to paint. What happened next well lets see Enjoy

Get ready bout to jump into hyper space

I give the feathers a coating of super glue it makes them hard that is why they kind of shine a bit also a bit of epoxey clay for filler

All this will be fine tuned as we go

I will have to grab a pic from under you can see all the feathers from top to bottom this reason for burning both sides

Oh there has been work done on the bill

under the bill detail

Okay Guys As said I thank you all for following along on my crazy quest yep batmobile is still sitting there as well as a bunch of other stuff I guess the glue is dry on the glue up blocks ready for more fish cutting but I need more this is only 3 1 cut 2 in block form Im not good at juggleing for sure I will grab that pic a under view of all the feather detail some real over thinking going on I know I didn't keep it simple thats for sure. So road trip early in the morning wifey has a biopsey of a place in her throat another off and on week seems bout to happen then next day a big road trip with daughter taking her 3 year old to be tested for aultisium I don't know about my isums but I try I think he is fine he still a baby but he does things that happens with that hes my little Friend he wanted my gijoe jet that I did up but I am a jet short I gave him that big model jet saber he loved it bigger than him.

Okay Friends, All is done for wifey her deal was good I belive thats how I heard it. Back home I jumped into me shop clothes and off I went. First out there I took the glued up block out of the clamps then preped them for band sawing 3 fish are ready for realistic happening. Next to the mallard did fare on it wifey made me shut down, but the only thing I forgot was the under pic which I will still get So here is what happened next Enjoy

Okay Guys Thanks for all the likes and comments as said a bit at a time as well as seeing about the 3 fish need to block up another 2 at least Yep the burning should start to be a bit faster burning now that I am with the flow we shall see. I am glad that the trip went well and that I went on and cut the fish and cleaned up the mess a good bit ofsaw dust collected for a experiment later down the road well lets see where things go from here Thanks Jim
