We've begun the last piece to be shipped to Trinidad. (unless they decide they want a little more) While we still wait for a few measurements on critical areas we could start on the cab and front of the train. This time we had both drawings and the small model to reference which made things very easy. As with many of our pieces the first order of the day is the main structural frame. The final shape was formed in pencil rod and welded into a grid. Galvanized mesh was then tied into place. An epoxy skin will follow next week with a high level of detail hand sculpted in before it sets.
New sculpture gallery now live!
We've spent the last few days photographing, tweaking, and uploading the new pictures of our sculptures and study models from our studio. They are now displayed on a new Sculpture Gallery Page on our website. They showcase the craftsmanship, texture and colours of the real sculptures better than ever shown before.
Don't miss the boat!
The food cart (boat) is now finished. We'll bring in the tarp guy to measure up for the canvas cover and then it is ready to stuff in the container. In the picture the boat mast is removed and temporarily set into a steel pocket beside the boat for shipping.
