WesG Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Mmmmm Candied midge! I wonder if it tastes as good as it looks. I like Dins reindeer as well. Quote
bulltrout Posted December 11, 2007 Author Posted December 11, 2007 best damn contest i've ever come up with to date...i knew this board was talented and creative but damn.... :D Quote
126barnes Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Is that one strip of black between the green/red? Great proportions. Yeah a single filament of black, if my eyes didn't fall me, diff. need more light over my vise. Married in a piece of about 5 or 6 filaments and then removed what I didn't want..................................way too fustrating handing such a small portion of feather. Quote
