Description First layer of feathers is on the frame!

This took forever, I had to take them off twice, and the system Marcel was using did not work for my type of wing design, so I had to re-invent that bit as well.

They look mighty impressive in real life, in my living room

I have no idea for these because I ended up taking the feathers off and redoing them, but the version that I used for the dreamweaver has a span of roughly 4 meters when they are open

They are amazing!!! Β ...Im planning to make similar ones for my costume.Β  Was wondering what you used to hold theΒ sticks to the frame?

It's clear rubber tubing used for aquarium stuff thingymabobs (no idea what it's called in english). I came across it by chance and figured Hey, this might work, and it did
The sticks are in one end and the other half is duct-taped to the frame. Because the tube flexes a bit it works like a hinge, allowing the feathers to change position when you open or close the wings

Beautiful! is it the pneumatic door stopper (at least thats what it looks like!) keep the wings in position when open?

Mashayahana In reply to spring-steel [2014-10-08 20:40:51 +0000 UTC]

Yep, it's a gas strut (at least thats what google translate gives me) that holds the entire thing open until I say otherwise
The finished wings were a bit heavier than I thought so I ended up replacing them with slightly stronger ones.

They're made out of layers of fake silk lining and lots of glue to hold it together, and a long drinking straw in the center. Thanks

would foam or poster board work the same or does getting that material cheaper to make larger feathers and hanger wire or wooden dowse for the part that going in the middle of the feather?

Mashayahana In reply to latinawolf95 [2014-02-21 06:55:31 +0000 UTC]

I honestly don't know because I've never tried those materials. These feathers aren't even 0,5 mm thick and weigh only a few grams a piece so I'm suspecting weight might be an issue with those heavier materials.

I know Sunnybrook1 made a wing/feather making tutorial with some other materials, maybe worth it to have a look at that?

My feathers are made of fake silk (polyester) lining fabric, lots of glue, and have drinking straws that I slide over bamboo sticks to attach them to the wing frame.

MauroStrange [2013-09-20 02:43:05 +0000 UTC]

They look stunning so far!! But I have a question... What pieces are you using for the base, also for the joints? and how did you made the feather pieces?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Mashayahana In reply to MauroStrange [2013-09-20 05:31:08 +0000 UTC]

the base is a frame that was made for me as part of a trade, I think it's aluminium.


For the feathers, I made them similar to how =Sunnybrook1 makes them. Have a look at her Realistic Wings tutorial pt 2 for that.

Mashayahana In reply to White-Wolf-Terra [2013-09-19 11:05:51 +0000 UTC]

Well, these were about 3,5 kilo's (roughly 7 lbs) when they were mostly done.

I just took them apart and am redoing them right now, they're are slightly heavier because the feathers are bigger, and I think the final product will be around 5 kilo's (or 10 lbs)

oONanami-ChanOo [2013-06-14 22:52:12 +0000 UTC]

I'm going to try my hand at tackling a pair of wings similar to this... But how did you get the individual feathers to point downward when the wing was closed?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Mashayahana In reply to oONanami-ChanOo [2013-06-15 06:33:42 +0000 UTC]

The sticks that are in the feathers are in little plastic/rubber tubes, and the tubes are connected to the frame. When open, the string holds them up, when they close the string is no longer taut so the tubes allow them to shift to a downward straight position. Good luck on your wings!

I didn't make the wing base, so I can't sell that. Bushitaka on deviantart made the wing base for me in exchange for some leatherworking things I did for him.

Oh i know, well to be honest this is my first full fursuit (and my first attempt at wings) that i'm making. i've loved fursuiting for a long time but never really had an oppertunity to make one on my own. i've always wanted to try to get a fur meet or a LARP group or something going but i don't know how to go about that exactly, i'm so new to this i must admit ^^'

Vertel, wat is het probleem?
Ik zit een beetje vast op het moment, krijg de tweede vleugel niet mooi zoals de eerste...

Ik had langere stokjes geprobeerd maar dan klopt mijn vleugelontwerp niet meer...

Help?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Bushitaka In reply to Mashayahana [2012-02-28 12:07:15 +0000 UTC]

gebruik deze volgorde: eerst de stokjes+slangetjes vastmaken, en daarna alle stokjes met 1 touwtje aan elkaar knopen. knip het hulptouwtje weg! [link]
Maak een mooie verdeling/spreiding van de stokjes, en vouw de vleugels helemaal naar achteren zodat ze naast elkaar zitten. Dan kan je goed zien of ze gelijk geknoopt zijn. Je moet testen of de vleugels netjes in en uitvouwen. Je stokjes zijn inderdaad te kort. Het hoeft echter ook weer niet zo lang als ik heb gedaan.

DAARNA PAS de veren eraan maken. Om de veren mooi te laten vouwen, moeten ze wel overlappen; bij voorkeur het brede gedeelte van de veer over het rietje van de volgende laten vallen. (kijk nog eens goed rond in mn galery. Ik zal kijken of ik er nog wat bij kan zetten.)
Als beide vleugels 'beveerd' zijn vouw je ze weer naar achteren/tegen elkaar en doe je de definitieve ordening. Als het gladjes werkt kan je elk knoopje fixeren met een beetje tape, of beter met superglue.
Daarna meldt je je weer bij mij voor de '2e ronde'

nog een tip over je rangschikking: doe ze wat dichter bij elkaar. Normaal gesproken heeft een vogel 20 van deze veren. jij probeert nu wel het uiterste met slechts 13 (+3) veren (die 3 onderste heb ik zelf niet geplaatst; dat heb ik met de 2e rij veren opgelost.)
Een nadeel kan zijn dat je de veren al hebt geknipt; misschien zijn ze te smal.. Toch denk ik dat je er wel uitkomt. if not: dan zou je wat ongebruikte veren van mij kunnen overnemen.

hou me op de hoogte van je vorderingen en sterkte/succes!

Yessir

Ik kan er zaterdag helaas pas mee verder, ik hoop dat 1,5 maand (dus nog een dag of 6 a 8 om eraan te werken) genoeg tijd is... Wordt krapjes denk ik.
Maar het gaat lukken, als ik veren te kort kom laat ik het weten

Mashayahana In reply to Bushitaka [2012-02-28 19:22:38 +0000 UTC]

Hoeveel langer zou ik de stokjes moeten maken denk je? is een cm of 10 genoeg?
En een andere verdeling maakt het lastig, dat had ik eerst gedaan maar dan staan de veren niet goed, dan staan de eerste 5 goed en de 6e is te schuin, vond ik niet mooi
Vandaar ook de extra verbindingen waar ze kunnen knikken, anders ging dat niet -_-

Bushitaka In reply to Mashayahana [2012-02-29 12:04:05 +0000 UTC]

de afstand tussen scharnier en knoopje is bij mij ongeveer 12cm. De totale lengte is meestal 25-40cm. ik zou zeggen; begin met een kale rij stokjes en kijk wat werkt voor jou en wat niet. een 2e scharnier in een stokje lijkt mij een probleem erbij Aangezien ik het zelf nooit geprobeerd heb, kan ik er niet over oordelen, maar het lijkt me dat het ook anders op te lossen is.

Ik zit trouwens wel met het probleem dat als ik het touwtje wat er nu zit weg knip, dat die hele gasveer uitvouwt, en das ni handig weer vast te maken...

Bushitaka In reply to Mashayahana [2012-03-02 00:05:23 +0000 UTC]

je kan het touwtje ook op een andere plaats vastmaken, bijvoorbeeld aan de bovenkant. zie [link]
