Chicken Sphinx Work Party

On the 11 of July some of the Seattle crew got together to put some meat on this chicken's bones. The (Messy) results as follows.

This should help the foam stick

The foam






There's quite a bit more to do on this chicken, as you can see. Aaron and Tali completed the wire frame on the second one so we should be able to foam at next work party. We learned quite a bit on this first one. Made some foaming mistakes, but have a plan in place for fixing the imperfections.

The foam is stiff and rigid just as we hoped. It should hold up to playa winds without any issue. One unfortunate bit is the foam coverage was about 1/2 of what we were hoping for. It goes quick!


Oh and Jason about that over spray on the back concrete. Do you have a stiff shop broom? A little abrasion might just do the trick.
