what is the scale you used?

[@the-needle-felter]

So sorry for the delay in replying. I had the Kiwi Bird packed away and needed to bring it back out to measure it. I did not follow a specific scale for the bird. The final size of is 5 3/8" tall, 8" long from tail to beak, and 3 1/4" wide. I hope this helps.
