Hi can anyone please show me at what angle do you attach shoulder Pteruges ? Iam having a problem getting them to lay right on my subarmalis . pics would be great .
Julius .
Arrange the pteruges in a fan shape. They will sit correctly then..
Did you over lap the bottom layer too? That is what I have planned to do to give that thick bunching you see on some statues. Not sure if it will work though. I see you did it with the top layer. I am planning on trying buffalo hide. eventually.
I see now , principle would be the same with leather I asume ?
Thanks ,
Julius .
I would use fabric over leather...lest you fall into the hollywood look. 8)
Good point Magnus , never thought of that
hock:
I used linen wrapped over felt for mine...worked out pretty good. The stitching I used as part of the decoration. Having said that, the upper "tongue" shaped pteryges I made out of leather. All the sculpture points to something smooth for them, which means either metal or leather.
Here's a thought: What if they were metal strips, but covered in fabric to avoid cuts due to their mobility and flapping about on the limbs?
Only a thought, and I only typed it in or I'd lose it by tomorrow. No flames please. BTW, the arm pteryges and those above the bum could be shaped metal strips :wink:
Hang on... it's no longer only a thought. Hmmm....

:lol: Could be anoying if you get up after sitting down and have to ask one of your mates to bend your bend pteryges back into the right shape
I have experienced this problem myself with fabric on leather pteryges in the past. :lol:
