Just a note to let you know I haven't forgotten to post the finished Red Tail hawk. I have nearly 50 hrs painting time in now, and hopefully I will be able to finish it by Wednesday next week. Thanks

Wow, that is some job! Super work Hugh. I still think you just stuff the real birds....even after that step by step. Just kidding. Well done.

It looks so real!
Amazing work.
I'm so glad to have seen at least a picture of it. I wish I could see it in person.
