|
| Whew, I can finally update. Long weekend. So I said I would post progress pics and a full description, and here they are: I planned a full build - that is, I would build the entire thing from the ground up. Luckily, a saner part of me left the (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-04, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.loc.us.mi, FTX)

| Congratulations on the gig, and it's clear from these pictures that it's well deserved. It's very refreshing to see such a well executed 'pure-brick' design. You make us proud to have you in our midst. Keep building! Peace and bricks, Professor (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.loc.us.mi, FTX)

| (...) Very nicely done. The shape is excellent and looks very substantial. Are you going to rebuild the whole thing from scratch at the show? That's a pretty tall order if you are. Or are you just going to partially disassemble this one and rebuild (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.loc.us.mi, FTX)

| (...) Wow, that's a great model. The colors are awesome, and it looks like it pretty much only uses basic bricks. Very cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the pictures and commentary. Derek (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.loc.us.mi, FTX)

| Hey all, I got tired of responding to myself for updates ((URL)), so I'll start a new thread for the good stuff. A bit of a late update, but what can I say? I'm just finishing up :) Pictures: (URL) The front. I like the little engine details; the (...)

| So I stopped by the Zoo today to iron out the details. This place is amazing. They've got tons of planes in beautiful condition, what is soon to be the largest hand-painted mural on the planet (no, really. Guiness is supposed to stop in in a week or (...)

| 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 (...)

Bummer, I'd be interested in stopping by, but work ends at 4, and it's about an hour (...)

| | | | | Re: I am the new curator here

It is even better if you can provide a way for them to contact you with a (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.admin.curators)

So if you would like me to add anything, or if you have ideas for (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

| | | | | Re: New sculptures: Santa Claus bust and Leprechaun
|
| (...) 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)
| | | | | Re: New sculptures: Santa Claus bust and Leprechaun
|
| 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)
