How to create a Thanksgiving Turkey Model using fischertechnik elements

I play with different educational manipulatives for a living. (Visit www.weirdrichard.com). Over the years I have built different holiday themed models using all sorts of toys. It is easy to create awesome Thanksgiving scenes with fischertechnik pieces and parts! This instructable will describe how to create a fischertechnik Thanksgiving Turkey!

Note: The CAD-looking images were generated by LDraw/MLCAD and a fischertechnik elements library.
