"28mm Feathers needed" Topic

I'm in the process of building a large force of Maya warriors and would like to add variety through the addition of feathers to some of the figures. I'm also scratch building a large number of shields and would like to decorate some of them with a smattering of feathers. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Making your own isn't too difficult with green stuff.
If I can do it, anybody probably can.

Here's a good go-by:

What you need is a very small bird……..

Leaf Confetti

The linked one above may not be what you want, but browse around Amazon or your local Party City store.

I have also mad my own confetti with scissors. If you use thin cardstock, the pieces should be fine … they're very small, so they won't bend once you papier-mâché them on.

You might try pipe cleaners? clipped and trimmed down they might make passable feathers in 28mm.

With some glue and paint you can even flatten them out..

These folks
pastimesonthesquare.com

have sold a bag of leaves that I bought for 28mm feathers. I don't know if they are still available or not, or whether they are listed on the website.

If not on the website, you might call. I met the gentleman at the conventions in Lancaster, PA. He will probably remember my purchase as we spoke about it for several years at the conventions.

If you're looking for something of a plume effect, search eBay for "chaos space marine heads topknot," -'the topknots are plastic, quite large, and can be cut down into serviceable plumes.
