Got these plans from Yukon Mike a while back.
Traced the original, glued them to luan.
Cut out
Mike thought his head looked a bit large, so I trimed it down to 80% of the original. Didn't have a copier handy, so I did it the old fashion way.
All the pieces cut out
Back and Breast glued in.
Notched back to accept the wire
Head and neck roughed out and epoxied together
Wires
Put on the canvas last night
I'm no expert, this is my first canvas bird. There seems to be a lack of info on the net as to how to do these, so I though I'd post what I had done and hopefully anyone with additional info will pipe up.
Thanks to Yukon Mike for the plans and the advise, and Dave Sikorski for lots of encouragement and advise as well.
