Sanding, sanding and more sanding

This part of the job is must be feeling endless now. The weather has been really cold and every square centimetre of the sculpture needs careful and precise sanding.

At least they are not held up by the rain or cold. There was squally weather a couple of days ago and they just kept moving around to find dry sides of the sculpture to sand.

Grant has been using car body filler to go over any dents in the surface.

Grant devised this plastic applicator which smooths the body filler over the curves of the sculpture. It is sanded after it dries.

Mark uses his hands to find rough spots. They are so small now that you can't see them while the sculpture is unpainted.
