I'm getting ready to do a common snipe and I can find a reprodiction head, but my problem is I can't find a body listed for them in any catalogs, and I can't find the eye size or color. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

are dark brown. Size 9 or 10 should work. As for the body, wrap one or carve it from a piece of foam using the real body as a guide. On all the snipe I've done, I used the bill the bird came with. Much easier than trying to cut and glue around their narrow gapes.
