Nice work but that is a big project. I would hate to cont how many individual pieces are involved. I hope it's a paying job

It needs wheels and pedals so that you can drive the thing around Dalek fashion.

Hi Guys
A quick ,but slow coming update of this pigging thing. Ye gods, how much of my DNA has soaked into the beast? I know they were killers, but this one is a vampire.

The original brief called for leaves growing out of the pockets, but we figured that they are not neccessary, so I can have a window box on my workshop.

Next stage is to fit the top and cover it. I am going to make the top section with a more hairy texture to give it a thrashy look.

I shal be glad to see the back of the thing.

Chunko'.

ah, you've got to the "I hate you I hate you I hate you" stage I'm sure you'll get past it and love the damn thing. Once it's finished, out of your way and the cuts have healed

It is an awesome thing to be building, made me think "WTF!!" when I first started reading the thread. Well cool

Glad you appreciate The Thing,
Andy, it is on wheels, I have mounted it on a pallet so i can move it around. I even had to get inside it the other day to cut the slits for the planty bits, I had arrange cover from my neighbours in case I could not get out; a potentially embarrassing scene was avoided. I used my step ladder to get in and out.

To br continued........

Ahaha! I can just imagine you getting stuck inside and the Trumpton being called out with all their hydraulic cutting gear

*muffled voice from inside Triffid* "No no keep that stuff away, it's taken me weeeeks, don't you dare cut it up nooooo"

Hmm. my neighbours were alerted to the loud and repetitive use of the 'C' word as a code for ''I am stuck in the sodding thing'' Luckily I have great neighbours, a bunch of blacksmiths living in cardboard caravans, great for when I/they are stuck, or when the sun comes out along with a cider......
