Your model is gonna be very fine, HP Allan. BTW, I'm a bit surprised by the
_length_ of the feathers, they could have been a bit in the way for such an
animal if it was also hunting with its grasping hands. Or might the feathers
have fallen back on the forelimbs during the hunting? How can a paleoartist
suppose the length of maniraptorans feathers? And as I'm on this subject,
are the cf. _Sinornithosaurus_ feathers complete on the fossil?
