Tips for Installing Road Runner Cast Feet:
- Drill holes in the bird to attach the legs and feet.
- The legs do have a left and a right. If you look carefully at the top of the leg, they will be marked. Also remember that the larger front and hind toe goes to the inside of the bird.
- Attach the legs using an epoxy.
- If you want to bend the feet or legs, GO SLOW! Use a hair dryer to heat them and slowly bend them into position.
- You can also use a file and notch them from the under side of the knuckles to bend them around. Be careful because using excess force will make them break.
- Reinforce the bent feet with a little super glue or apoxie sculpt.
- To blend the legs from the body of the chickadee, use a little Apoxie Sculpt to create a feather formation that looks for natural.
- Clean the legs and feet with vinegar or denatured alcohol before painting them.
The Roadrunner carving feet can also be used as study casts to follow when building your own feet for your road runner.
