We have another big build Friday coming up tomorrow, so big that I'm just about to start now and will be building today,
Friday and Saturday. So it's definitely a big build, hope fully we come out the other side smiling still :)
I've only been twisting for 3 hours and I'm a little knackered,
might be the long day yesterday running the basic care & share day.

Done 13 hours of twisting today with David, we had a couple of meal and coffee breaks, and many laughs along the way.
Will post a few more pictures in the morning.
Anyone have an idea to what we are making?
All coming along, these were from Thursday.

Going onto Friday morning, normally I twist in the hall and David in the front room.
What I was building was so big we had to change around.
I made the knee look from 260's but changed this later to 160 as it looked out of place.

I've got no idea what this will be, looking forward to the end result!

A few more pictures, I will post some more later but still building the next design.
David is a pretty fast weaver, the black design so far took less than an hour.

I have been watching these come on and I have just realised what it is going to be :D Amazing :D
If it is what I think it is I can't wait to see it!
Well we finally got finished, another 12 hour day..............I think the word is a little tired.
A few more pictures.

AND....................................... RELAX,
the van arrived 9am this morning to pick up the balloons and they are on there way to the party.
That was a busy three days, so at a rough guess I reckon this was 46 hours of work
including set up at the venue and travel.
If something is not quite right you do not get time to start again, you have to blend it in and work with it.
All the legs coming together and the main body section on it's way.

David happy in his work. It looks like a ship at the moment to me.

The build coming along, I know Rob guessed it correctly.

All coming together. We did add an extra row to the top to make the shape more correct to the pictures we were using.

And here it is, just positioned together to check for proportions etc.
Adding details to the legs and the head.

We shaped the top of the atat better and then later on added to the feet,
they looked a little small here.

It came apart and was in six sections,
the main body needed a gentle piece of persuading but we just about managed to get it out the front door.
That's brilliant well done.
These are the pictures we made the atat from.
We made the feet a little larger by adding an extra 350 and 260.

I made Chewbacca a couple of weeks back so have not taken as many pictures while making this one.
The other Chewbacca pictures are here, star-wars-big-build-t10597.html (http://balloonchat.co.uk/star-wars-big-build-t10597.html)
