It turned out to be more time consuming than I'd anticipated. Part of the reason is I started with the feathers delineated which turned out to give me less freedom of design than I would have liked. The feathers were a constraint; something I will have to keep in mind in the future.

This was a custom order to be modeled on another manufacturer's design. I stipulated I would use the overall shape but it would have to be my own rendition of detail. Step 1 on 3-29.
