Erik - thank you!

I have started the body - because of the way I build it takes forever, and I have also just come back from a road trip - a modelling break as I was flat out doing photographic work.

Have enough pics now though to make the next post sensible, so will download and proceed!

Don and VK - I appreciate the fact you are following the build and finding it usefull.

The birds are easily achievable - technique is important I think, but at the same time it is nothing too difficult.

What I will try and do to help, is provide a little more actual build information going forward on actual technique, as well as more hints and tips that work for me! Hope that will get you fired up!
