Wings part 2 - The Making of

So, we have the materials so lets get started ;D

Some pics from the prosess so far..

I made some research with Google about the wings and how their bone structure would look like... 

And then drew 1:1 "blueprints" of them on paper (this is the third version).

            The threaded rod is one meter long (3,28
             foot).

I actually ended up needing only the smaller bolts because the joint hinge I was planning to make, did't actually work quite I expected.. Plus they came more heavier than I thought...

So the new "skeleton" looks like this:

I drew the shape of the wing to the fabric with tailors chalk
Sorry for not having any process images between these two!
But I sew some lanes with the same fabric I used in the wings, then thread the "finger bones" into each one of the gauntlets. Then I sew the upper part and stuffed the "muscles" into it so it would look a bit more realistic. And then I hand sew the rubber band so I could wear them (like a backpack or so).

Threading the fabric onto the wires was quite a challence.. Especially because I had to thread every wire into the gauntlets at the same time!
Also I had to clip quite much of extra fabric off...
