Found this on a Russian site. Haven't tied a Rogue style body in a while; if you're not up for the Carnage method, it makes an acceptable product.
hook – Dai Riki 135 #8
thread/rib - UTC 140 black
abdomen - 1mm foam yellow
wing case/head - 1mm foam black
thorax - dubbing yellow
wing - Congo Hair white
legs - deer hair dyed dark dun
fold a piece of foam in half; cut at an angle, with the folded end at the narrowest point
insert needle into the folded end; mount needle in the vise, start thread
fold foam forward, take 2 soft loops, pull firmly and take a few more wraps
pull foam back, split the uprights with the thread and take a few wraps forward
pull foam forward an repeat the process
that should do it; brush the wraps with Sally and slide the body off the needle
mash barb, start thread
hold the body against the hook to determine placement, brush shank with Super Glue and tie in; trim
tie in wingcase
dub thread/dub shaggy thorax
tie in CH
create thread loop; wax
clean, stack, measure (approx 2x gap) a clump of deer hair; insert in clip, trim butts, insert in loop, spin
stroke fibers back, wrap, tie off/trim
pull wingcase forward, tie down, fold to create head, tie off, trim, whip finish, SHHAN
trim wing, hop on the nearest MI-8 and head for the tundra
Regards,
Scott
