With the 2017 Sign Invitational now only a little more than three weeks distant the pressure is on to finish my entry for this year. We've been so busy in the shop with customer's projects and life in general that this project has slipped between the cracks for the last month. But with the time needed for shipping the reality is that it needs to be finished this coming week. I managed a little time in the past week to do some sculpting and am now almost done. The sign painter perched precariously on the swing stage is now sculpted. It is time to begin painting the hard to reach areas so I can permanently fasten the wheels and riving rods onto the engine. There are of course a few more surprises in store to take the piece over the top in time for the show. Stay tuned...
