Finished this order yesterday. It’s nice to make one of these beings that doesn’t have black eyes for a change.

What’s next? Our film. We have our first production meeting this weekend and it begins. I’m taking a break from sculpting and cleaning shop too while I think about the next sculpt.

There are models to build too. Like the 2001 EVA pod. And there’s that big Mustang.

Getting ready to trim and paint this bust for a customer. Base is cast in a marble resin.

I poured a Travis Walton bust yesterday. And I worked seom more on the Saturn 1B.

Today I’ll pur polyfoam into the bust and remove it on Monday for painting and it’s base.

I finished the Cyclops mask yesterday. It ships this week. I always let the paint dry out for 2 days. Even though it is dry to touch it takes time to bind to the rubber.

I also got some more work done on the Saturn 1B. I made a new escape tower for it out of bamboo sticks that’s pretty hardy. It will survive reentry well. I also got a coat of white paint on it too. Lots of paint and decal details to go yet.

Great day.Ad Astra,

Monday was a great day and I got the Planet of the Apes gorilla mask painted and the Cyclops mask trimmed, patched and ready to paint. Next up is to do the hair work today and pack and send this mask in time for Halloween for my customer.

I also got a little more work done on this 1980’s Black Brant rocket kit. Despite being so old the kit and its components are in very good condition. I plan to fly this at our next launch this weekend.

My friend Sam Williams took these very nice shots of the Luscombe 8E Silvaire I built recently on its first flight at our field last Sunday. This was a very hard plane to build and it flew very well.

Got this Planet of the Apes mask out of the mold yesterday. This will dry out all day to day before trimming. All the masks will get painted and shipped next week.

All finished up. Video for the last part 6 will be uploaded tomorrow.
