muro08,

I have a few sheets of tan foam that I bought from Hobby Craft - they have an online shop as well as stores throughout the country - sadly only on the "mainland".

http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/cms/storefinder.asp

If you would like some, just email me with your full name and address and I will post you enough for a few dozen patterns.

For wings, you should be able to pick up an indian cock cape for a few euros -and a ginger or brown cock feather will do fine for the hackle.

Kind regards

muro08,

Did the complimentary foam (and Whiting ginger saddle hackles, and indian cape for the wings) I sent you arrive?

Surprised that I have not heard back from you...

Kind regards
