Thorax:  Mixture of olive and brown hare's ear picked out.  Apply UV resin over wingcase. Wind and whip finish a small amount thorax material over the tip/end of the wingcase to hide thread wraps

Notes:

(1)  The flashback material possesses several iridescent earth tone colors.  Olive (pictured) contains various shades and tints of greens to dark olives and tan to dark bronze.  Light affected iridescence!
(2)  The flashback material somewhat fragile and should be cut into a narrow strip and doubled. Wrap the material utilizing the rotary feature on your vise.  Doing prevents stretching or tearing.
