Hi, not sure if this is the right place but...

Im having a go at this vulture and am having trouble with the raisin twist needed on the 321.

Every time i do it, the end goes out of shape and it doesnt look right, any advice?!

Rob is a member here so might give you a nod in the right direction, maybe it's not a raisin twist?

Thanks Graham

Any ideas Rob?

Any ideas Rob?

Well I'm hoping as he made it he might  

In his blog, Rob does refer to a raisin twist. I thought I would give it a go and after searching for the original (quoted by Rob) I could not find a tutorial but had a go anyway.
I used a fairly large raisin and placed it 3 or 4 inches from the nozzle end of the 321. Holding it in place, I twisted my two large blush eyebrows around it to secure it. I then pushed the raisin back between them to hide it.
I don't have the same shape head as Rob but I don't think it is that bad. Perhaps it is more about experience and know how! I will have a go at making the rest at some point.
Hope this helps or indeed confirms what you say about distortion!  

looks good stuart, wull give it another go tomorrow and post results....

Had a go, quite pleased with the result...

That looks amazing! Is there a link to the tutorial?

Hello, sorry to come into this so late,  I have only just seen it, I must have missed the original post. I know you have this mastered now Alex :-)  

As for a tutorial there is not one available as far as I know, its based on a design by Jeff Hayes. Its not too difficult to do, the hardest parts are the raisin and getting the end in the beak.

Here is a link to the original picture if you want to see it
