Structure for Making Wings - help needed

[StrawberryMeadow]

hey pony peeps! I'm getting more confident with my pony sculpting and have started trying out different types of wings. I'd like to attempt some sculpted ones but I'm really struggling to find the wire mesh suggested by most tutorials. Does anyone who uses it know what kind of thing I'm looking for? I tried Hobbycraft (our UK hobby and crafting superstore chain) and they've never stocked anything like it. I could go to B&Q (DIY superstore chain) but I think their chicken wire will be too big for what I need. I can order online if it's not too expensive, I was just hoping I was misunderstanding and could walk into a shop tomorrow and pick a bit up?

Any help appreciated, as always.

I got mine from these guys:

They were really quick. I also got some sent by a kind member on here

In a pinch, I'll make a basic wire frame and cover it with tin foil   So long as the wire frame supports most of the weight, you're golden.

I've seen people use wire and foil as well as the 'board' from can cases (soda/beer/etc.)
I've made bases with wire and masking tape... though never finished them

Ive used some window screen mesh, but it unravels.. If you can work with it fast enough it isnt an issue, but if you work slowly, a little bit at a time, it is a pain. Once that first layer of wings is on at the bottom, then it's ok.

I also use wire with tin foil.  Never had a problem with it
