Now for the next project which is underway. A Glen Curtiss which has now been moulded and a very rough first casting done. I'm always so impatient to see the first results that I don't take enough care and I've ended up with a couple of air bubbles, but ignore that as it's a first go We made this body with a cord through the arms instead of wire so that the hands can attach to the steering wheel and the arms will move with it. It seems to have plenty of easy movement but you could always nick the arm foam to allow more freedom of movement if you need it Bob.

We're making another 1/4 scale body mould as this one didn't fit well together - an early version and the seams are a little thick where the gap was. Since we had to recut the plug I decided to add a "little something" to make it more anatomically correct. It just looked wrong like it was [X(]. It's not overdone now and hopefully wont bother anyone. Did it bother anyone except me with nothing there?!

The boots and hands will be cut this week and I'll be starting on his suit asap. I have the material ready to go and am dying to get into it. It's always fun to start a new project and we're getting quicker at these heads so hopefully can start doing a variety. Here are a few pics of the start of Glenn Curtiss.
