Laatste loodjes - Last mile

Big Mask has its colours now. The real finalisation can start: reparations and sealing. 

Big Mask is transported outside the house when I am going to apply the ammonia and hydrochloric acid on the copper part. You do not want the smell that results from those liquids inside your home. 

Transportation outside took place on a bumpy ramp. 

Some lugging and pushing made it rumble outside onto the terrace. 

Below the bumpy ramp. Note the styrofoam. 

Leftovers from making the skeleton weeks and weeks ago.

Back inside was a bit harder. After a work-out of 20 minutes I decided a proper wheelchair ramp was needed here. The roof of the rabbit run would do the trick.

And tadaaaaaaaah: 

   

Originally the subtitle of Big Mask was thought to be "Copper and Chocolate brown". I am about to change it into

"Green copper and several shades of brown".

The copper was sanded to diminish the green somewhat. The original colour of the art resin reappeared again at some spots. This was repaired like this.

The whitish stains that were caused by water dripping downwards (while sanding the copper) on the chocolate brown part worry me the most. I will have to take a close look into how to cleanse this away. 

The pedestal has a layer with sand and iron. The iron will be sanded like the copper to let rust originate. 

 The rectangle in the middle shows the effect of one layer of sealer. 

The green is faded a bit, just how I intended it to be.
