[Nhcoll-l] big wings?

[Bernhard Bock]

Hey Tonya,

I don't know how your wings are prepared, we started to cut them open  
and fill them with a wire/woodwool construction which is modelled like  
the real bones and muscles. On the end we have a little thicker stub  
with a little hook to hang them.

We made some space where we started to hang them, wings get the same  
label as the body or skeleton and so on.

Hanging in our collection has the advantegs that we didn't had any  
bugs in them yet, despite we never sprayed them. Also, moving our  
shelf es, the wings start to shake a little by only hanging in, that  
movement seems to annoy bugs.

I put some pictures in attachment, hope that may help,

In pictures you can se a crane wing, stork and eagle owl hanging that  
you have an impression for size.

Best regards
Bernd
