Ik denk dat ik klaar ben om alles al eens te voorzien van een eerste likje verf. Ook nog even een systeem uitdokteren voor de lampen aan de buitenkant van de poorten en tegelijkertijd het dak toch afneembaar houden. Dat wordt nog een jolige uitdaging maar ik heb al iets in mijn hoofd klaarzitten. :-)
Omkisting van het dak is ook in orde, misschien dat ik daar nog een extra sierboord voorzie, het is al leuk, maar zint me nog niet 100%.

The bamboo skewers were manipulated into an A-frame configuration, with their joints bound with sewing thread, which in turn was CA-glued for rigidity. Lengths of copper wire were looped around the bamboo, and their endpoints were shaped into harness loops for the geese. These were, in turn, painted an off white to resemble rope, and the harness loops then were painted with a dark reddish brown to simulate the cork harnesses worn by the geese.
I settled on using wooden bamboo skewers, which I stained to appear more tree-like. The bamboo skewers were manipulated into an A-frame configuration, with their joints bound with sewing thread, which in turn was CA-glued for rigidity.
Knowing that the body of a goose is as wide as a human head (well, approximately), it allowed me to proceed to building the contraption.
