This is the model or maquette that Grant built for the commisson. He works off it to build the full scale sculpture.
It's now like a tiny off-spring.
The boys have been trowelling on layers and layers of resin to build the curves as well as fibre-glassing the centre twist as a lifting point.
The work has been fairly tedious as there is not much to show at the end of each day. Just a lot of crusty, dried resin in their hair and all over their clothes.
Mark said he has given up trying to wash his work clothes. They just about stand up by themselves now.
They are so close now to finishing this part of the work. The whole sculpture is ready for a fibre-glass layer and then the finishing skim coats are applied before painting.
Grant said last night that the end is in sight....
