Title: Seagulls
Post by: rmcluckie on July 14, 2008, 07:12:50 PM: For a nice effect, add a couple of seagulls to your model from the mast using thin spring wire so that the birds still bounce. Anyoune else tried this? See photo

Either on wires pinned to a mast or stack, or stuck on Roofs. It became a challenge to find and count them on his models. Regretably he has passed away, and nobody else has taken up the habit.
Regards,
Gerald.
