Little Feathers?

[Firepower]

Pretty straightforward question- where, if at all, can I find little feathers for conversion purposes, akin to those you find on Dark Angels. And yes, that means I am aware of Dark Angels already

I think there are some on the Kroot sprue, too...

Plastic, resin, or pewter are all okay, but preference follows that order from highest to lowest.

I've managed to make a couple with GS, but it is a royal pain, and some of them come out looking like leaves or weird little aquatic invertebrates more than feathers

I was going to say sculpting them is easy, but if you don't like to do that you can always make a pressmould and produce them that way.

If you heat a bit of sprue and press it into the GS mould you can just cut them off the sprues end a second later. Should be able to produce them pretty fast, just be careful with the fumes.

 

Cutting plastic card in diamond shaped form and scoring them lightly with a knife should look good enough as well once painted.

Some of the lizardmen kits have feathers that are easy to trim off and use.

I grabbed some in a kitbash challenge last year and put together an Aztec-themed Rainbow warrior with them.

You can find some feathers on WFB Empire figures - especially on their hats!

 

I have seen etched brass foliage kits where leaves/stems have been used as feathers - this might help?:

I've seen brass-etched feathers at one of the big box hobby stores .Michael's or hobby lobby.
