Congrats on getting the contract! I hadn't realized they were going to have anything of the sort. I live in Kazoo, and I'm actually at the Air Zoo every day for a class, so I'll have to make sure to stop by. The Gee-Bee is gonna be cool to see (...)

(...) Hey congratulations on getting the contract. Sounds like it should be lots of fun. From the info on the website, sounds like they will only be open til 5pm. Bummer, I'd be interested in stopping by, but work ends at 4, and it's about an hour (...)

Oh, forget the delay, I can't hold out on this! I've been commissioned by the (URL) Kalamazoo Air Zoo>, a new air & space museum in Kalamazoo, MI, to build a sculpture for their grand opening. I got to choose the subject, so what better than a (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.loc.us.mi, FTX)

(...) It is standard practice (well. we are encouraging it to be) that you provide a way for people to tell who the curator of the group is, right there in the front page.

I have been given the honor of curating this group. This basically means that the stuff you see on the left side when you visit it in the LUGNET Web interface is now under my control.

(...) Thanks for the feedback! I agree about the red cheeks, but it looks worse without them, and Santa has to have rosy cheeks! I build most of my sculptures using only bricks from the 3033 tub (r.i.p.) so pink is not an option. You'll also notice (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

Hey, great job! I especially like the leprechaun! The form is great example of the quality of building that can be accomplished with just basic brick. The only suggestion I might make is the red cheeks on Santa stand out a bit too much. If you had (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)
