hi all! I finaly got to put some color on this bird.............again i used what i'm calling the Master Alex Method for the top of the wing. I'm pretty happy with the results. i think next time i'm using ultracoat instead of mono.....i've heard it shrinks better. Heres my progress from last night.
Okay Piper, be honest - how long did it take you to cut the coating, stitch it together, and then apply to the wing? By the way, it looks fantastic!

And yes, Ultracote has a lower shrink temp than mono, and in my opinion it shrinks better. I use both and can get mono to shrink, but you really have to hit it with heat.
