The feet are done but nothing else is even started .__.
Feet this time are built on a low profile shoe and have zippered cuffs to get them on, the shoe-less super tight ankle-high old style of bird feet were more streamline and seamless but WAY TOO HARD to get on. It is worth an overlapping baggy cuff to not have to fight with a shoehorn for five minutes >_o
Gonna be toony style.
I am debating on airbrushing on the black "scale" feather marks of the chest or if I should just let the per-printed feather fur pattern of the brown, gold and tan furs speak for themselves.... hmmm.
I am also debating if I should airbrush the solid gray-blue to be more blue or get a fleece that is more gray because right now they dun match gud.
Also getting refs of these guys to show their flight feather colors is a pain in the ass so wings will be a combo of the tan and blue/gray color.
Adding black knee-length feather legs because it looks better to have the bend of the knee less obvious.
... I hate making beaks... once I get past the beak this will be 100% fun as heck to make.

Quail wings are really very bland; but as a prey bird it's good for camouflage. Here's a ref http://natureskills.wildernessaware....._bird_wing.jpg
Though, if you're not worried about it being fully accurate, I'd say do markings that are more like duck wing markings so you can pull some of the blue into the wing.

I just googled quail wings and found a lot of different pictures

However I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for though.

Knowing you, you will decide on the right course of action with the fur vs airbrushing vs fleece as you're building..
I would suggest not airbrushing the fleece too heavily, as I think it would soak up the paint and get stiff.
Looks awesome so far!!
BTW, stilt construction almost complete.. I had a few difficulties finding a couple of items I needed locally..
