My house is all up in the air again, after working with David Crofts on the cow for McDonalds and then the four super hero's for a birthday party we are now building four 7ft Ninja Turtle's.
We spent over 8 hours twisting yesterday and we expect to have a slightly easier day today for a delivery tomorrow morning, will just check with David to make sure it's OK to start posting pictures as we have taken them as the build went. We even built a proto-type for scale and the odd adjustment, I think we will use some of the parts today. We have 8 legs built, four arms, four front and back shells and three weapons. Trying to work a way of putting them all together now.

So here we go then with the build, we set them at the party today and they did look very nice. Deciding what style leg we both liked.
We built a prototype and tried different style and sizes before we built the four main sculptures.

Sadly I do not. It was a flat weave with the golden rod If I remember correctly though.

I may have some shots of some small ones backs done differently though.

There was no room to move anywhere, Lounge, Dining Room, Hall and even the stairs were all full with four ninja's and the proto-type.
David showing a naked ninja and the proto-type with only one arm to get an idea on scale/size etc.
