Torpedoes and wings

Wheel/wing profiles
Profiles and found objects - many of the forms start out simply as cut-out shapes....others are fabricated from an existing object or 'found object'.

These will be used to form the three Ichthyosaur bodies




 
Profile moulding for the giant 'frame'


Planning permission granted beginning of September, so I have been working on the initial forms and moulds prior to the casting process.
