Week 3....Opera Continued...

Paintshop has been chocka block this week, workshop have been churning stuff out and passing it on to us before we've even had a chance to start the last piece! We managed to get two flats wallpapered, the team are getting the hang of wallpapering now which is good as there are still 3 more flats to do!
We spent a few days working mainly on cutting out the lettering stencils so we could make a start on all the false prosceniums.

Unfortunately some of the processes involving the paint and mega glaze ended up going streaky and we had to start the process again as it would show up with the lettering! So that took us back a few steps which was a bit of a pain.
The moon clock was coming along great, Rose did a really good job, but then we realised we had projected the image back to front so we have technically painted on the wrong side, its easy to fix but a bit annoying, I think there was also a bit of confusion with Cordys references as the one that we thought was the colour reference wasn't....so we need to have a wee fiddle with that.



We got started on the lettering, the process is a bit fiddly so until everyone is confident in the process im going to have to keep a close eye as we cant really afford for it to go wrong. But the 2 we've done are looking good :)

We had some 5 minutes of fun on friday for comic relief and got our picture tweeted on the RCS twitter haha.
