Keianza just sent me an update on the osprey wings, so here are the new WIPs, showing the primary feathers, with reinforcements on the leading one. There's still the secondaries and coverts left to go, as well as the airbrushed fur sleeves covering the arms (
Crystumes will make the sleeves). As you can see, the primaries are rather long and heavy, and the ones not reinforced are bending under their own weight, so they will need to be strung together with fishing line to keep them all in place and moving properly. :) (We can't reinforce all the feathers, as it would add too much weight.)
