Week 1

And they're off!
What a cracking start! Proposals all went beautifully and just about finished my 3D work.
So where are we with the triple madness?
Well, as you asked....

The puzzle cube has been milled from the waste piece to be an almost perfect cube (2 sides left to square off)

The many Legs of Lego - some scale tests and I will of course be making the largest (12 times normal size!)

Slice of apple? well 4 are done in fact, hopefully the rest of the structure will follow by the end of next week.

 

Pause for breath and remember that I have another presentation to prepare and a second proposal to make next week..... welcome to crazy!

Big things coming

Final year of my degree looming, so what will I be doing?

Going grey(er), without doubt.. but being the telescopic octopus that my children have forced me to become... I will be working on many pots at the same time (adding to the greyness).
- I have got my grubby little mitts on a solid piece of perspex to mill a solid puzzlecube from...


- I will be making a commission piece for a photographer of a large scale fibreglass apple for posing babies in...

- Oh and for my degree, I will be making a large scale Lego display....

And that is just the plan up until Christmas!!!!
Portfolio will be filling up this year for sure

Overdue update

Well the Dovecote project has been completed and installed, hopefully it will be going on tour in the near future....
More pics in the album, and hopefully some video footage of it in action. Catch it at Aldeburgh Music in the Snape Maltings (I will pop a link on when I get one).

 

And then we get on to the what happens next...

Final Glory

And the Supermarine S6B is completed - when I get the time, I will get the stand done and then get some really nice photos of it. And to those who said I couldn't do it and had bitten off more than I could chew - this is how I roll!

Soooooo close!

Assembly completed, painting and detailing done.... all that is left is the wire and the varnish coat!
Oh and I have been asked by the University if they can put it on display when it is finished. Then at some point a base....

Final touch

Well, one evening of coreldraw tracing off photos of the actual plane, a brief flurry on the laser-cutter and some masks were done for the markings....
All that remains are little touch-ups on the paint, final fixing of the floats and prop - mucho piano wire to be added..... oh and then a dynamic base.
I have to say how much I love the way it has come together.

Just about there

The paint is almost completed, just touch-ups and serial numbers to go (oh and final assembly).
