Over the weekend, I managed to apply primer and two base coats of paint to the mermaid feature. This week, we’ll apply a final blend coat and then the final details and glazes. This piece has come a long way in the last week, and in the next week, it will be finished and ready to send down the road to Nebraska. Stay tuned…
More base coats of paint
I spent three hours in the shop this afternoon laying the base coats of paint onto the mermaid feature and hole markers for the pirate-themed mini golf bound for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska. Tomorrow I’ll add another coat to keep us on track for completion and loading them onto the truck next Friday afternoon. Stay tuned as we work towards the completion…
Little extra push
It’s not often we work overtime in our shop, but this afternoon’s power outage put us a little behind for the end of next week’s shipment to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska. When the power came back on after supper, I went out to the shop to do a little work. Peter, Becke and Grant joined me, and we decided to go for broke to finish off the sculpting of the mermaid. We welded up the hair armature, tied on the diamond lath and then added two layers of sculpting epoxy. And just like that we are now back on schedule.
