Hey guys!
So once more I've kind of run into a few snags here and there as far as finishing up this fursuit goes. I've only got three problems right now and they have to do with building and making the wings,tail, and fur collar work.
First of all here's a reference sheet of what I'm making.

First of all the wings-
I've had a hard time trying to find a tutorial for exactly the kind of wings I need to make. I need them to be boned like a lot of back wings but on the arms like avian wings.I would also really like to be able to use the claws and move them. I bought six gorgeous skinny raptor claws from DreamVisions that I would like to use for this as well.If someone could link me to a tutorial or draw a diagram for me or something I would be really thankful.
Secondly the tail-
I was really wanting to do something like this http://rarsuit.livejournal.com/44876.html with the tail I'm making so it would be nice and flowly and not strangely stiff but I have a limited budget currently and not enough time to work with PVC and I don't have the time to buy some delrin rod so I was wondering if the method of stringing together pool noodles would work for a big dragon tail like that? Maybe by using larger foam circles instead of a pool noodle and stringing them together? I know I'm not going to get the same kind of movement as I would with that but at least a decent amount would be nice.
And finally the collar-
I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get this collar to work. I wanted it to fall in a v-shape on the chest and the back and stick up in the back and then stuff it so it would nice and fluffy and just use some kind of snap or velcro to take it on and off since I wouldn't be able to squeeze it on. But I'm not sure if that shape is going to work quite right so I wanted to get an professional opinion on it before I ruin the small bit of fur I have.
