More Leg Work





Here we glued on the top round piece of my leg we used 1/4 inch Styrene , WOW lesson learned first we just cut the piece then we used weldon. we clamped it on let it sit for 3 hours... wrong when we took the clamps off it came apart. So we re glued and left it at the shop over night, and bingo that did the trick. So we glued the other leg this morning and left it I will pick it up tomorrow. I also cut more supports for my legs today, now starts the sanding and Putty. Well Calvin wants me to try my luck at cutting the horse shoes today so wish me luck.

Battery Boxes



Pieces cut for my Battery Boxes, not to bad except for the small round holes . Calvin had a time cutting them out, soon I will be putting them together.

Ankle Progress


I started on my ankles yesterday, we cut them on a table saw at my work it took about 3 1/2 hours to cut them and to do some other stuff. I still have sanding to do and filler this is a rough cut. i think they will be strong enough.

Skirt


More progress on my skirt, we now have the ends cut off I still have to cut the ribs for the Skirt.
and fill all the cracks and sanding.

Horse Shoes Taking Shape






Here is some pics of my Shoes, the first one is where we drilled the holes so when we cut it out it will be easier. The 2nd one is where we cut out the holes, and the 3rd one is showing the step look. They are a little rough right now, because I still need to sand them.
