I was just looking through your tutorial on how to make articulated wings.
First of all, let me say - it's fantastic! By far the best, most comprehensive tutorial out there. So thanks.

Buuuuut, I would really really love to here any suggestions (maybe even another tutorial???) on how to merge this frame with a final 'feathered' version.
It seems that a lot of people have difficulty folding the wings once feathers have been put on. All this video's I've seen that work well with feathers don't explain how they did it!

I would be so grateful if you could help me out :)

May I have a bigger size picture of your profile's avatar?

Sure, use any of the sizes: http://www.instructables.com/file/FDOJQXLF03GBBAF/

Link back to Instructables, though, OK?

I can't carry much conversation, but I also know a little Arabic as well as being close to fluent in Spanish.

rachel (author) says: Dec 19, 2008. 12:12 PM

很好。我学普通话。 I figure if I know English, Spanish, and Chinese there's very few places in the world I can go and not find some common language with someone. So far I'm fluent in English... Y hablo un poquito Espanol... 我得普通话不好。
