Whirligig progress

05-23-2012, 09:42 AM

Even with all the interruptions managed to get a little done.
It's coming out to be a flower. There will be a 3D bumble bee in the center. I'm hanging it so it will go in a circular motion but will remain in an upright position. The face stinks I have to cut it off and make a new one. There will be more bee's and the large final gear will rotate a group of flying bee's, I think.
I have been promised by puppies, kitties and people no interruptions today.
