Another warm day was forecast for today’s sculpting. We went full blast first thing in the morning to beat the heat, keeping the area a little smaller than yesterday to keep things under control. While Tony mixed, Jay and I sculpted the riveted panels under the windows. In the afternoon, I concentrated on fitting and welding the steel plate to prepare more areas inside the deck area of the ship for tomorrow’s sculpting. Stay tuned…
FIrst section sculpted
It was a very warm day to do sculpting outside, but we started on the shady side and chased the sun through the day. It worked well. We first tackled the upper section of Cap’n Elias’s cabin, which is the hardest and most detailed section. Tomorrow, we’ll go for a bunch more. Stay tuned…
Ready for sculpting.
It was an exciting day as we hooked the ship to the forklift and pulled it out of the shop in preparation for the sculpting, which will start tomorrow. The ship was too tall to put on the removable wheels, and had we waited until it was sculpted would have been too heavy to move. The weather looks to be great for the next few weeks, and we will be pushing hard to make sure we get it done. Stay tuned…
