P'raps they're not really as big as my memory is tellin' me, but I remember I was convinced they were big enough to ride on. The Beefeater (Yeomen of the Guard) sort of dissuaded me from that idea though.
A tip, for anyone else that fancies blowing this one up to A3 ... I tried to give the wings some thickness by putting some packing case card inside them. It did work well, but I made it 1/4" smaller than the wing all round and I should have brought it closer to the edge, so that the outer layer wrapped around it to give a thicker edge. As I've done it, the inside and outside edges still come together in a sharp edge, so the added thickness doesn't really notice.
Still snippin' ... Johnny.
PS: I've had no further info from Amazon UK on Johan's book. Fingers crossed for this month, eh?
