Created for the famous play, "The Seagull", this faux replica is accurate in every way. It's a protected species, but one that definitely brings out the feeling of the seaside. This is a large bird, measuring over 14" long (beak to end of tail). The body was first sculpted in clay, then molds made, then a polyester resin replica pulled from the molds. Then each (chicken or goose) feather is picked, trimmed, base coated, and colored to match. Finally, a fire resistant coating seals the final work.
