[project update] Sparky
Jan. 26th, 2011 10:58 am16 cups of puffed rice, 1 lb of marshmallow, 3 eggs and 1 lb of powered sugar have been sacrificed to the project gods so far.
Here are the major structural parts: head, body and legs. The round disks are sample pieces to be used to show the stages of sculpture creation. This should give people an idea of what is going on behind the final sugar layer. It is roughly the same overall size as Bubba, but is far less dense.
Sugar is a fickle mistress.I know that I have one leg that needs to be "recast". I had a problem with the temperature of the marshmallow getting too hot. It isn't setting correctly. Better to find out now than have a structural failure when it will be almost too late to actually do anything about it.
