Being that I want a super clean finish I decided I am not going to do the painting on the porch. So, I told my son to make other arrangements for a sitter. I will be heading to the paint booth Friday and will be there until this bird is completed.

Almost forgot to tell, in the morning I pick up my Eagle heads. Yes, I found a guy who took the photo and did some image editing such as removing shadows, removing flying wires, removing screw heads, and so on, and re-shaded those areas. I saw it just when he had some screws left to remove and it is a work of digital art.

I was there watching him for about an hour and was blown away at what he was doing, so when I left I felt it was in great hands. As for the price, terrific price in my opinion, especially after a few quotes from airbrush artist.

I am looking to replicate the full scale exactly, or as much as possible for me. It will be very, very, close. I am done ironing, and ready to load up, again, tomorrow for the booth.

As promised here is a shot of the Eagle head, well the front half anyway. The new one is on the left.

While waiting on the rain I cleaned the room, it is ready. And the rain has passed so I can get started bringing everything in and set up. I thought while I did this I would go ahead and post this pic, so everyone can get it out of their system....

One good thing about taking pictures, it helps reproduce previous set ups. I started hanging items and am having to use the pics to get it all back on the previous mounts.
