Hello!

It's been a very busy week, no lessons to follow and that means: workin' like hell! ; ) I finally repaired my camera and here are some pics on the results of this weeks work:

Here's the little merry-go-round, currently in grey primer.

This is Adam's room, everything's ready (appart from the wallpaper but that will be the final touch). The bed will get a mattress and his little desk isn't painted on this side because the fourth wall will be in front of it. I've hung a drawing of Adam to show the scale of the set (Adam = 30 cm/11.8 In). The set itself is 1.20 m/4 ft high, plus the base it's standing on...I'ts a big set. The four walls are attached to the base with bolts and all walls can be removed so the camera can go anywere! The tree is the first one of the entire forest that has to follow (it's there for scale purpose)...

Here's the evolution from inspiration to creation. The elephant is now painted in a red primer, he will get a dark colour later on. My neighbour and I welded this steel structure in two days and I'm happy with the result. It stands 50 cm/20 In tall and has two small benches the puppets will sit on during the film; one in the belly and one on the back.
Today I've added the slide, the glue on the MDF piece is now drying...

This is Adam's head, waiting to be moulded in plaster. I've created the mould in Lego; the ScaryCat approach!
The rest of the body will be moulded soon.

See Ya!
