    I have corrected the post. And, I am modifying the pattern, so you still don't know for sure what it's going to look like. That was just the prototype, to test out the technique.

    I'll have a production model ready in a few days.


    No problem - thanks for editing!

    I will do a foam bee. Pm me the size of body that you would like. I can do 1/8 to 1/2 inch diameter sizes.
    I will do the most prevelant size I get.

    Will a scud qualify?

    Since a scud isn't an insect, I'll tie a golden stonefly.

    Don't feel bad, I have been working on my design since Alba mentioned what we are tying and I have just now come up with the design.

    So far we have 11 signed up. Normally I would probably make the 12 just in case we have a late comer, but with these - not so sure. Just some extra other flies for the hostess

    Default Figured It Out!

    Okay I figures it out and got one done. Color is a bit off but I can color them all up when I'm done. Now it's production line time. Tie up the bodies get them all prepaired then prep all the components and then assemble I might make the deadline! Yeah Steven!
