Tips/Hints

For a feathered Tom turkey, in 1:48 - Take flesh colored fimo and fashion a carcass with it. Then make a very thin snake and apply it to the front of the carcass , bending it at the top in the shape of a head and beak. Bake. Drill two small holes in the bottom of the carcass to insert legs, which were made from very fine wire; four pieces twisted together so that the bottom could be separated out for turkey toes. Then paint head, neck and beak the proper colors, as well as his rear end. Feathers - paint cigarette paper with Shimmerz paint, both brown and black. Experiment to get the desired shade. Cut long feathers from the black for the tail, cut 2 strips of the brown about a half inch wide - then snipped the edges about 1/4" in. Fold the cut part back to the edge of the snip-line and finger-crease; leaving about 1/8 of an inch. Cut off the remaining un-snipped "selvage". Fit the snipped feathers across the turkey's back so that the snipped part stand up and the 1/8 inch edge is flat against the turkey's back. Glue that down. reate another row, just like the first but arranged so there is no gap in the feathers when finished. Apply the long rear tail feathers, butting them up against the stand up tail feathers and covering the 1/8" edge of the stand up feathers. Cut individual little oblongs of feathers from the black paper. it. Make a puddle of glue and using tweezers, dip each feather edge into glue and then place against the front of the stand up feathers. Continued placing the individual feathers, advancing forward, until the neck area. until I reached the neck. For the breast front, angle the feathers from the center outward until they meet the body feathers, leaving a fine center part. Unravel something red for a wattle and glue it there. Finish by brushing the tips of the standup tail feathers white.
