although i think a cdc wing would do a better representation, i used aero wing to make the pattern a little more robust. not that i expect it to work

They look brilliant, especially the spiders. You have managed to catch a certain sparseness in the dressing which I think is very attractive. I like them, well done.

Excellent looking flys and as said before the proportions are spot on. Well done
