    This is incredible. How did you bend the "ivy?" around the fairy so accurately?

    Thank you very much!
    The ivy is .250 rod, rolled on small hand rolls to get close then shaped by hand to fit. Once the rod is in place weld the leaves on and you're done. This was my first 3D attempt, many years ago. I'm trying to find a way to upload the file and give it to you if you want to play with it, I just can't seem to find a way.

    If you would like to upload the file of this now, there is a explanation of how to upload cad file on the first page of this forum. This is really neat.

    Thanks Steve! Here you go. This design has a small notched piece that once welded to the back of the fairy allows attachment of the notched wings. Currently scaled to fit 12ga.
