Here's one I did a couple years ago. make sure the people know how  big this mount will be. This thing didn't fit in a mini van he had tio bend the wingsa a bit to get it to fit.

Thanks Turkeyjm
   Thats what I wanted to see How one looked with the wings
A customer wants the wings done with the breastmount
and I could not get a mental picture of how that was going  look
and did I want the wings up or pulled together at the bottom of the breast
But I like that look
Didnt think about the size though Will have to let the customer think about that

I would have pulled the wings up a bit more, but the customer wanted it to look that way. He'd seen a pic of one and wanted it to look just like that. Customer is always right.

Say I have not done a fan mount with wings nor breast with wings. Any tutorial or suggestions on adding them in? Wire and clean like a normal bird then what? attachment, board or panel to hold them in place? how far down do you cut the wing off the whole thing?

you can flip the wings the other way and put them behind the breast mount this will cut down on a lot of space but you wont get to see the brown feathers as much. i will see if i have a picture anywhere.

cut the wings off at the elbow, sew and wire up as usual, leaving about 6" to 8"of wire hanging hanging out the end of the elbow, bend at a 90 and staple to the back of the breast form, you can put it on a pannel or leave as is.
