Tomorrow we package my entry up and send it on the way to Las Vegas. That means the pressure is on to finish things up. I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours work today. Tomorrow is the last chance...
More honours
We were most pleased to hear of three more prestigious awards from the 2017 Signs of the Times contest. The six NEBs Pub signs garnered the top spot in the Sign Systems category. These same signs were runner up for Best in Show. The Merry Dragon sign which was done as a display piece for Precision Board for the International Sign Association EXPO won first place in the Unique Sign category.
Whirling bug almost sculpted
The marquee for the ride is a wonderful play on words - a visual pun. The name of the ride is Bug Whirled. The ride cars are giant ladybugs and they spin as they ride around the figure eight track. The feature is to be situated inside one of the ride loops. We decided go go with a mechanical ladybug theme with four bugs holding up the globe (whirled) and a fifth ladybug (in a tutu of course) doing a pirouette on top. This ladybug sculpt is nearing completion with only her fingers yet to do. All of these pieces will be perched on top of the giant drum which is in turn perched on top of a giant stump. We delivered those pieces a couple of weeks ago.
