Not bothering to seek out any more help on this...
need to get moving (Xmas is coming fast!).
I decided to crease and fold those side tabs.
I have a feeling they are supposed to be rolled (curved over)
so why the partial dotted line?
But I can't figure out the proper connection and a folded tab makes it simpler.
I am also unsure about the side overlapping flaps.
(Seen just right of picture center)
Each side of the body has these two overlaps, but I don't know whether they
go under or over, and exactly how much. The coloured area looks like a glue
overlap, but it actually does not line up properly.
Once again, I will just wing it.
...
Ater I glued the lower body sections together and set them aside,
I assembled the chicken legs.
Very straightforward...just preform, pre-roll the parts into a tubular leg
and glue...clamp until set.
Also assemble the two "ankle" feathers....they will cover the connection
to the feet.
...
There are also a few overlapping feather cuts to make.
I think its all pretty obvious at this point.
