It's neat to see your reference.  A few years ago a client of mine showed up with a pair of mallards and a print that he wanted me to copy.  That is, he wanted the pair mounted like the dead birds depicted in the print. Hey, I can do that, no problem...........  Well, I don't know  what the artist used for reference, but there was absolutely NO WAY to pose the birds the way the artist had painted them. One of the wings would not fit, no matter what I did with them. I don't recall who the artist was, but I always wanted to ask what he used for reference. Please keep us posted on the progress.
