I was lucky to acquire a "one Person" doves from the air at a local club auction. It needs some work. I have fixed up the cage no problem. However I am "stuck" on the gimmick for the net. The mechanism works fine. I just need to replace the fake in the net. I originally tried a white t-shirt trimmed up and attached to the frame, but it just does not look right?

Any suggestions?

I know that Abbotts repairs them. I don't know if they will sell you the parts to repair it yourself

I make full feathered fakes for them also.

Richard makes amazing flower pieces. I would honestly send it to him!!!
I have a "Fastest trick in the world" of Richard's which was Darren Romeo's - Splendid!!
Flower fabrication is becoming a lost art, so go to Richard and have it done properly.

Vinny,
I forgot I sold a Fastest to Darren. That has got to be almost 20 years old.

I still remember well your little tour when we (John & Morgan) were working there. The big warehouse and going under the Ventian to see the toys.

Wow, and I can't even get in the workshop to view the wares. LOL, This year Richard. Who makes a double dove tray?

Richards work is master. However you can use cotton sheet to design the gimmick dove. If you can try to store it open once in a while it helps the srping like gimmick much like an appearing cane wich should be left open now n again. For the net I reccomend you get fine gage rust proof wire and wrap it around 4 corners through the netting it helps to keep the net nice n open for you. It's just a question of bending by a simple twist and mashing it for transport. When ready just open and form to shape.
