here's the latest... been super busy and the finish work on this takes the most time in order to get the paint on there nice....i got pariarts paul in on this one again...he's cuttin' me the letters as i write this...

here's the back of the chair thus far.....i loosely place the hotel sign boxes so you can get an idea of where they will end up...the wooden posts go through the entire head. they will go through the ears as well once i get the through-holes drilled like in the photo of the original sign.....I added some texture to jazz it up in the areas where the letters will go..

here's the base again.....i thought it was originally a little bland so i put a "googie" twist on it by adding the cirle details and runners on the front edge.....it will be mounted to the astro turf base, which has another thin circle painted green, with floor glides attached so as not to scratch up the floor or the piece.....

..sorry it's been slow going, but these things take time...

more pics soon!!
