Skinning the plane

Since it was Friday and Henry and Juniper were a little concerned about the quickly approaching Yarrow Days Parade, we decided to enlist some of the crew for a bit of the afternoon to help mix some batches of sculpting epoxy and apply it to the diamond lath skin of Henry’s plane. We made great progress! There are still some areas on the back side of the plane, but we are closing in on the finish of the first coat. Next week, we will finish the sculpt and start adding a little body filler to make a smooth skin. Henry is looking forward to beginning the paint scheme. Stay tuned…

Log armature complete

One of the fun features of Cap’n Elias’ Shipwreck Cove Mini Golf at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch is a twisted log with three swords stuck into it. I’ve been looking forward to building it with great anticipation. The structure is relatively simple compared to many, but it is still challenging. The three similar swords were also fun. Now we will attach the lath, then do the sculpting. Stay tuned…
