Fantail on a Kowhai tree

Hi all, I put this together this morning, but have yet to cut it. I didnt put lead ins as I am having trouble with the dam plasma arc leaving little divots missing and screwing up my lovely cutting.

But anyway, this is an indigenous cute bird from NZ that lives in the bush and sometimes they fly into the house, they sort of more flutter than fly. And the tree branch or twig/flower is the Indigenous Kowhai Tree pronounced Kofai.

Hi... Larry right? If I am not mistaken, you are using torchmate software?

If so, I also use torchmate... just curious, are you making sure your lead-ins are at a 90 degree angle? About 99.9% of the time, I manually change the location of the lead in's as the software seems to always put them in a place where that will happen.

I am no expert, and I use the old version of the software, but I will help if I can.

Also, when uploading a file, it is always best not to have lead in's as people have to go and then take them out, so this one is awesome, thank you!

Keep up the good work!

April

Ah come on John... you have to be faster than that. I beat ya. But the paint is still drying

Here is a pic

Kowhai flowers should be yellow.
I noticed a few flaws in the thing so I adjusted my file a little to make things better.... yeah

and here is the improved version attached.
The flower had a flat edge on top and I made the legs a bit thicker and shortened the lines near the edges.
Ok enjoy.
