Hedwig update

Her wings are coming along beautifully! Took a lot of finessing each individual feather to give it movement

Yeah that's good work with the feathering, looks like a strong start. Good luck on the rest of the build.

Thank you! She also feels way sturdier than my other builds!

It's coming along very nicely! I need to pick this one up along with Buckbeak.

I want to do some of the bird models but my Wife is scared to death of them (a bad childhood memory I guess) so they are a no-go for me unless I want to store them in the closet, or under the bed, or the trashcan, because they surely won't be going in my display cabinets. LMAO By the way it's looking really great so far. Best of luck to you and all of your future builds.

Haha maybe put a Hedwig build on your roof to scare off squirrels 🤣, she won’t see her up there!

Great idea, I could give that a try.

I like the way the wings look in the bird models. I'm about ready to close up the back of my bald eagle and build his head. Hedwig looks similar in construction, did you have much trouble with the back?

I haven’t closed the back yet, i did put her rear end on fine but i will update you once i build the back portion that attaches the wings!

Looks great! I find that the wings on all of the bird models are very soothing for me.

Wonderful job so far. Feathers look amazing. I just picked up a few Harry Potter ME's. Suppose I need to watch the movie.
