piece I'm working on at the moment is riveted aluminium over a shaped oregon wing with bat wing bones.(in silver ash )........why......Ive been left alone for a bit
stands 6ft...

undie ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

not my cupa tea, really nice workmanship

if the bones were inside the wing and you could see them though a tear or something

dam l shouldn't say things like that after last time

[Woodturnerjosh]

Wow!
I love the bat wing, it's just awesome, and I'm seeing a sort of natural verses man-made juxtaposition going on (Is that along the lines of what you were going for, or am I completely off the mark?)
I'm not sure if you were looking for c and c (and I certainly don't feel qualified to give comments and criticism on work of your calibre) but there is something about the shape of the plane wing the doesn't seem to work with the organic shape of the bat wing (yes, I know that's incredibly vague but I can't really offer any useful alternatives, sorry)
I would love to see this in person!!!
Thanks
Josh

thanks for the critique Spirit and Josh, (always much appreciated)
yes, the intention was to get as much contrast between the two elements as I could,
(I think I got that) then somehow tie them together as a single piece (I got no idea yet)
I'll post some more pics as it develops

WOW!! underfoot, that is astounding, I absolutely love it. Just my cup of tea, as a Biol. science dropout, an ex-aircraft mech and a sculptor. An absolute inspiration. I'm afraid I can't be more objective and critical, because I like everything about it! How's that for fawning!!?

Keep up the wonderful work...

Undie, you never fail to amaze and surprise. That is splendid work.

You are hereby invited to decorate my humble abode, just so it won't look so humble.

Ideas are to be used or equally not, they are only Ideas

Now if the alu came down to be parts of the membrane of the wing ,that may look cool

[dai sensei]

Love the bat wing , the plane wing is good too, just not sure of the combination like it is photographed. Perhaps if the al wing could be reversed you could do a giant critter of sorts with one wing of each Keep in mind, You are he artist, not me

Now if the alu came down to be parts of the membrane of the wing ,that may look cool

Hmm, that sounds cool

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Nice work from what I've seen so far! I'm curious to see where you go with this.

I can't help but wonder what the two pieces would look like juxtaposed into the same space, so that elements of the skeleton would emerge from inside the airfoil.

Not that I'm suggesting you do this with what you've already made... It'd be a crying shame to lose so much of the work you've already done on the skeleton.

Damn, now I've got yet another vision in my head that I can't translate to reality. Wish I had your skills...

[Frank&Earnest]

Well, Spirit and Skew, like me, seem not to be able to overcome the obvious, coherence is given by the skeleton of a flying animal going inside the skin... That's the challenge for you, Underfoot, to overcome the conventional to create art.

ok I've just revisited the wing thing and decided to jettison the aluminium bit, (see I do listen to you guys), I've decided to play around with adding a new species to the original skeleton and then........
