The Big Pink, Foamie !

That molding is adding to the looks... Looks great even without canvas.

That really is coming out NICE !!!

The molding is giving a very nice finished look to it. Nice job. I can't wait to see the canvas go on the body.

Hey Tac, it is looking good.

Looks like Mike picked the right person for finishing her up. You guys did do the Boys “ No-backys “ handshake right?

Thanks for all the comments !!

Today I got the molding on the other side. I used great stuff to fill the damage on the top, and glue the molding down ...
Man, that stuff just keeps growing ! The great stuff doesn't stick to the plastic very well, which helped with cleaning it up.
(I still have to do the innner molding under the "skirt".)

I'm not able to work on the foamie for the next several days. So I'm doing some planning on paper.
I've figured out how I'm going to do my wiring (embedded in the foam before I cover it with canvas.)

But now I'm thinking about a color scheme to paint it, and would welcome any suggestions.
Anybody willing to give it a shot ? I have some ideas in mind, but don't want to influance any thoughts other people might have.
The wilder the better, maybe adding some little foam wings ? or a fin ?
I will be putting an old wooden steamer trunk on the tounge.

I attached some drawings for your convienance

Color scheme , that’s such a personal thing ... What do you like ???

[wagondude]

Tie dye it.

[bonnie]

I think a nice two tone would work well. Or a mural wrapped around the sides and incorporating your steamer trunk.

Tac, we tried to use your drawing in Paintbrush to play with some designs , but the colors wouldn’t fill in ...

Pick your Favorite colors , pick a theme... run it up the flagpole and see if anybody throws frozen turkeys at it ...

If it was painted in a basket weave pattern (think picnic basket), do you think it would attract bears?

[GPW]

... or Ants ...

[Mary C]

Or paint it like a steamer trunk with travel patches from camps he goes on and leather binds and make a leather looking handle and a lock and ....... you get the idea. Tac it is looking great!

I like that idea, but one would have to have GPW painting skills to pull it off. It would be waaaayyyy cool
