guns, next year you should probably consider an Art Guild blue jeans fundraiser, I see so many of your students dressed in rags.
Will there be banners flying from the tops of the towers and hanging from the battlements? |

You should probably have a Panther pennant. A bolt face wouldn't be very subtle, though. If the castle is the walls of Paris, then perhaps the colors of various supporting French cities that came to Paris' aid, perhaps? |

The dragon figurehead on the Ghost bow turned out Really good. I thought that was the main one for some reason. How's the Big Dragon head for ship bow coming along?

I have last years shirt. I've been following the thread but somehow I missed when the fundraiser went live.
Is there still a way to order a shirt(s)? |

Had the opportunity to see the dragon and the rest of the display in person tonight. Pictures do not do it justice. Guns, your students are doing incredible work! I really like the Valkyrie and the dragon eyes in the base of the village…and the ghost ship…and the stain glass windows…and the dragon rider…and the texture of the castle. I think this one is my favorite display.

Update on our F-22
It was exciting to see our F-22 actually up and running. Students did replace the arm that broke yesterday morning, and had it ready for last night. We had a little hiccup right at the beginning of the night, as the bay door with the missile kept binding up, causing the system to blink S.O.S. After seeing which doors were struggling, I sprayed a bit of lubricant onto the arm actuators and it seemed to slick it all up. We need to update the timer a bit. It runs almost continuality right now, as there is no 10min interval programed in, but it ran perfectly all during the open house and was working fine this morning. It scared the shit out of a few people as the doors opening are quite sudden and quick. I heard a few curse words last night by some folks I was not expecting to hear them from. Lots of laughter at people getting a little spooked by the sudden movement. Watch the end for the wing wiggle. We might have to mess with the programing a bit more, and adjust times We don't want to break things, and lifting the wing with it's anchor point, causes some weight to happen after just a few seconds.

guns,
Since you're running out of room indoors, any thought to an external installation? 2nd WW tank battle? Ukranian war tank battle? Gulf War/Iraq war tank battle? 1st WW French 75mm artillery line? Life size cavalry charge? 1st WW/Ukraine trench installation? Vietnamese tunnel complex w/ live freshmen roleplayers? |

Previous project related, but was repp'ing at the Sheppard AFB Show today. A young Captain spotted the shirt and asked about the 307th. Explained the shirt, area code, and showed some pics and the recent video.was informed "that's bad-assed!" Was given a Squadron patch courtesy of the 525th Fighter Squadron of JB Elmendorf-Richardson. It'll be coming your way soon.

Running around checking on parts of our project that are being done in other classrooms this morning.
Check from Custom Ink for $4700 was mailed on the 8th.....still not here. 3D printed keel carving for the tail of our long ship. Didn't get test printed for size this weekend. Dragon head for our long ship hasn't had any work on it in a week, but "will get done this week!" 3D printed railings that should have been printed Friday are no where to be found. Yay Monday! Who's in charge of this crazy operation????? |

Where did you get the raven skeleton? Did it come with the half rotted off feathers? It's a really cool item! Seems they would have even got the skin color on feet right (if any was left), crows have black feet while Ravens are half again as big with pinkish-white greyish skin.
How did you make the small ravens for castle? Look too smooth to be 3D prints. How did the duck stamp contest go? Did I miss a results post? |

We added the feathers and patina. Small ravens for the castle are made from taxidermy epoxy putty. National Duck stamp comp saw Sophia end up 14th. Not what we were hoping for.
