Look great!
I'm guessing you will NOT run any gold colored kit on these, I would think the silver or chrome stuff would off set these nicely.
On a slightly different note, have you ever thought of tinting the clear Polyester Resin you use? With a black and white (basically) feather like this, I would think that you could tint the Polyester Resin with a blue or pink or something to get a look you could not see easily in nature (unless you find some parrots that don't mind giving up some feathers I guess
).
Great work Les!

Sounds like a great idea Stuart.
Any hints on how to tint Polyester?

Les,
If you keep up this feather thing, you're gonna have a lot of naked birds running around your place.... those are spectacular....

Thanks Les, I hope it is an idea you can run with
I found this.......
http://www.shopmaninc.com/pigments.html
I guess the "Transparent" pigments are what you would like, further down the page.
I'm sure there is more info out there.
Cheers!
