Each member of the crew picked their favourite colour for the mushrooms around the dragon and the shop quickly became a much cheerier place. There’s one more glaze to do on the project before this piece is complete and ready to roll out the door to join the many others that are ready to ship.
Giant base tower
Yesterday, the crew tackled the sculpting of the giant base tower of the NEB’s castle. It was an ambitious challenge to accomplish in one shift. By the end of the day, the stone tower was looking fabulous! This afternoon we gently lifted the giant piece out into the parking lot to cure until next week when we’ll move it back in to get its paint. In the meantime, there’s a little more room in the shop to work on other pieces.
Giant bridge structure
Keith and Peter have been very busy welding together the largest structural piece for the NEB’s Fun World castle. It will form the framework for the ‘stone’ bridge that will link the mezzanine floor and towers. This structure will eventually be hidden behind the theme work. With the structure now complete is is time to begin the pencil rod form which will soon be covered with the diamond lath and then the sculpted concrete most likely next week.
