Very nice models, birder...but ya done stole my thunder. 8v)

I have been working on "North American Butterflies" models for a while now. Was thinking of releasing them by state (Oregon first, of course). The wings have been fairly easy to sketch out, but time consuming to color (have only done one set so far - California Sister). Are you pasting images of the wings on the outline? With the sister, I used a photo of the flat wings and drew the outline and color markings in TurboCAD, then exported and colored. It was just a test to see how it would work, so there wasn't any scaling in the design.

Where I am having trouble is in the body. I thought about flat bodies similar to the Canon butterfly and another I saw elsewhere, but I like the idea of a 3D body and having the butterfly lifesize, makes that a difficult task. However, while I have been typing this I have come up with an idea to make the bodies easier. Thanks for the inspiration 8v)

Damn...I gots waaaaayyyyy too many model designs going at this time.
