Hi Ken,

Beautiful, I mean just gorgeous work you've done on this deke, Ken. I've really enjoyed watching this bird come to life, and appreciate all your postings along the way.

A quick question - what did you do on the underside of the tail? I'm curious, as you've done such beautiful painting of the feather details on the top of the tail.

Thanks much,

Mark

It's tough to tell from a photo Ken. In the photo of the underside tail tho, it looks to me like the feathers on the top photo portion are a touch darker and a bit more detailed in the vanes while the ones to the bottom are lighter in tone and the vanes less distinct. Not wanting to give you more worry and work, but that's my thought. In any case it's a beautiful piece of work.

10-4... I was referring only to the underside tail feathers. The "top" reference was to photo orientation, i.e., the feathers at the top of the photo appeared darker with more definition than the feathers at the bottom of the photo.
