Failed iterations

After noticing a huge air bubble on one of the wings, I added two weepholes on the top surface so that more can flow through. This seemed to fix the wings a little but, but there is still a dent underneath one of the wings.

Add in more weepholes

I used the method of poking through the top with straws so that air can flow out. This way I can make sure that resin has risen to the surface on the wings. This time, I was able to succeed with both wings being casted.

Finishing work

I sanded the final piece and added some paint to make it more realisitic.
