Birds on the Exterior East Wall of the MCMR&HS Model Railroad in Fort Bragg, Mendocino

All of the new flock are in resident on or around the Virgin Creek trestle located on the east wall of our G scale model railroad located in Fort Bragg, Mendocino. The eagle was created on a 3D printer by daughter Annalise and assembled and painted by Club President Chuck Whitlock. (Click on picture to enlarge)

The pigeon in the next pic was also made by Annalise and painted by Chuck. The birds are “flying” courtesy of a very thin piano wire:

These seagulls were created by a very good friend of Santa Cruz Frank (Smith). We really appreciate her artistry. The pigeons were painted and mounted by Chuck.
