Looks great... I assume sculpting the individual feathers would be an absolute bitch!
When doing reds with Vallejos, I find that basing with Carmine gives a solid start for either a deep, dark red or a bright, flashy red. The Carmine seems to give a really strong base and allows a different final value depending on highlight and shading colours used.

Just my two cents worth of sweet F all

Feather hackles are very delicate and have a life of their own
Having worn one 'on ma bunnet' I can say they look horrible for days
after they get wet and never look as you expect afterwards.
This is super
