it takes time cutting them out, not to mention the stitching together in the first place and then removing the excess tissue from the back but i am pleased with what i have achieved so far.

i have found a way to stiffen them without adding wire to the outside. once they have been constructed i paint the tissue side with a liquid resin, it makes the colours more intense and stiffens them at the same time. will show that later.

I love your windmills! Gorgeous colours. I hadn't heard of liquid resin. Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Catherine, its a resin that is premixed from a model shop for water effects.
DeleteWow! That's a lot of windmills, the final installation is going to look amazing
