Some students suggested it was "just" an autopen signature......
This might indicate it's real.
This kids are way more excited about this than I thought they would be.

Paper already saw the letter from President Trump and is interviewing students about it today. They plan on running a story in the next few days. There is supposed to be a photographer coming this afternoon to take pictures. I've tried to show several faculty members the letter, but the kids have been showing them all pictures of it all day long. 
It's fun to watch peoples reaction to just holding a letter from the President.

Our President Trump is not posable. We already overcooked our Mr. Kuhn principal to the point that he is a charred barely recognizable form, and have to redo him. Another President Trump may bring revolt.

That doesn't happen every day. Pity you won't be at the Art Show/contest since the other districts turned on you.
You deserve that, though I'm still surprised. I don't have any nitpicking of your work today, which should bring joy to all. |

Ok, official update for 2/5
A grabbed a shot first thing this morning as students were taking pictures of their letter. You will see lots of hats this week as it's a "themed week" for raising money for cancer research. Kids are allowed to wear hoods up, and hats if they want. It's not normally allowed. I could have taken photos all day long like this one. The kids were very excited to see this. 
The HMX-1 logo is getting closer to finished. 
We are still working on this junction. We want to see more of a lip. 
Paper mache layer going on the nose. Sanding will be next. 
The QC dept (student union) found this little mistake. We sculpted the door side (starboard ) of Marine One. We didn't realize, mostly because there aren't as many pictures=no doors for president to exit, the shock tower on the port side is much like a normal blackhawk. 
This work needs to be adjusted. The young man sculpting it realized this looking at some tiny photos for detail right behind the cabin door. Ooops. 
We began work on the cowling covers today on the turbines. Lots of photos helped, and we found that port and starboard sides are not the same. The rear covers/cowlings are also pretty complicated. We need more photos. We've got some lines layer out and need to cut out some areas.

With how they get finished no matter what, you're the ultimate project manager! You didn't forget, you wanted "get the right proportions" once you could compare on the replica. I'm sticking with that story, so it's probably a good idea for you to realize you don't over-complicate right away for fear of destroying ambition in your voluntold's eagerness. It's easier for everybody when they hear it so close to the end instead of in the middle, being overwhelmed thinking of hinges and stuff. |

Update 2/6
The day was a mixed bag.
We are continuing to add smaller details to the shape of our helicopter. These kinds of projects are fun, but challenging. 
We look at photos, new photos, old photos, different versions of the VH-60 and UH-60, then discuss and make a plan. 
And this is where the mixed bag began. We were close on our turbines, and likes what was shaping up, but the photos kept telling us we were on the wrong path. 
The drawing we were using is this...... We think it's very close, but it isn't what we are seeing in the photographs. 
One of our better images to work from. You can see the differences in the exhaust. 
So, what do we do...... Rip off the skin to where we think the real exhaust starts. 
This is an easy thing to do, but to move that solid frame back is a whole different ball game. We had to be careful not to wreck the end shape. 
Tomorrow we will rebuild the vents, probably with mat board instead of the lath, reskin, and try to get closer to what we see in the pictures.

She was quoted as calling guns "An Excellent teach..". while partially correct, it should read as "Most Inspiring leader who allows students to learn many disciplines through guidance, a True National Asset". And this is coming from a guy who doesn't think much of art classes (or high school sports subsidies), but that's for 'new typical' art classes, minimum possible to get by is all that's desired by teachers, and most don't even attain that level, but get an A. If arts incorporated many arts, as you do, there would be a lot more enthusiasm for art than currently seen. There needs to be a Guns Scholarship, but I think you'd need to put about 30 mil into funds+with a good markets guy overseeing it to get enough in return to give the 3 winning students $30k each. So, keep on |

Update 2/7
Grabbed a quick shot of the cables all ready to go. 
My artist thinks these duck forms will be a great base for the pods on the underside of Marine One.
Short sleeve or long sleeve? We are going with short sleeve, which means, the lower arms will need sculpted later. 
That punch we used for the tin, worked perfectly for some detail holes on the starboard side of our helo. 
Our cowling conundrum continued. We cut it back even further.
Not sure what caused all the expressions.
We thought this was what we wanted........ 
We decided to add just a bit back on.  The vents are much more set back where we wanted them, and now our proportions seem better.
A little paint before we add the chromed squarish portion.

Continued:
What else could we rework? How about the corner windows? 
The students pointed out when detailing the nose of our blackhawk that we don't have the windows right. And, they are right, so we cut out more skin. 
Addimg the removed material to our formed glass, to then role out as a pattern for new glass. 
New glass being cut out. I was sure this guy was going to get upset when I told him what we were going to do, but he just smiled and dove right into making new glass. Good student.
