Rain Forest Cafe

[foamcarver]

We are working on doing 4 big signs for the Rain Forest Cafe in Egypt. Brady scanned in the smaller version of the sign, then I had to blow it up to 24 ft. We then had to cut each animal out separatly. The monkey is taking about 20 pieces of 2" blue foam. Here is 4 inches of the monkey. Hopefully the rest of him will be done by Friday. We will continue to make updates to show our progess.

Thats going to be quite an artistic airbrush job.
Guess I would be comfortable with fab but the paint would be a leap of faith for me.
Guess thats what makes it exciting.

I don't think we're painting it. It would be a "leap of faith" for us too.

Here are some more pictures of the last few days. Right now we're putting some clay on him so we can make a mold of him. The parrot is done being carved just needs some hand carving, and the frog is on the router right now.
