Archaeopteryx Lithographica- a 1:1 scale reconstruction.
Finally I have done it. I used golden pheasant feathers for this.
I have made feathered dinosaur models before this, such as Microraptors, but they were miserable failures.

Gregory Paul,s Archaeopteryx study were my main source of information, during this project.

NOTE! The attachment of feathers should start from the 2nd digit, not from the wrist. So this model is inaccurate from this part.

Feathers are golden pheasant feathers. And I bought them from fishing/ fishlure shop.

The eyes are made from polyester resin with help of silicone rubber molds. I have plenty of different size resin eyes-made by myself:D
