The Start to August and the builds continue

Busy weekend with sculpting and display projects.

I taped out a spot on the gaming table for a 72’x30’ table layout and did a “ruff” display layout.

I found out my OOAK Fantasy Bobble Head Creatures display was going to be too large. As you can see in the photo.. I took it to the table saw Saturday afternoon and it now holds 6 pockets. The photo below is of the display after i gave it a primer coat and did a test fit in our sun room.

I did a beta build on a cage stand for my OOAK Fairy Dragons Saturday and 1.0 was not tall enough….bummer..

A little toooo short………darn it!.. I had to put a paint can under it to lift it up off the table.

So Sunday morning I did 2.0 with a second piece of scrap wood.. much, much better. Just needs a coat of paint and we will call this one done. I’ll get a photo of the new one tonight.

I started to polyurethane my tree stump display for my OOAK fantasy Wood Sprite.. Now if I could only get the poly to fill in the holes on the edge of the bark and core. I’ll see what I have when I go check it out after I get home tonight. Another tonight item.

The for sale OOAK fantasy Wood Sprite was started and finished over the weekend.. Well, he needs to be baked but the sculpting is all done.

The photo on the right shows a test fit on the “leaf wings”. I’m looking at other options for leaf wings as well.. i’m not sold on making something from scratch on this.

I had the goal of wanting to finish off 3 OOAK fairy dragons this weekend and failed.. I changed how I’m doing the toes late Sunday so I’m going to be redoing the toes on the first 3.. They are at about 95% complete. I’m also still not sold on what I’ll be doing for wings.

That’s it… busy, busy weekend.. Getting close to being able to slow down.

I may try and finish off some display builds during the work week and look to aging the OOAK large Red Dragon egg inspired by the game of thrones design.

Have a wonderful week..
