The monolith--times two

Its hollow--it seems to go on forever--and Oh my God its pink.

The columns are cladded in the pink foam now and just so you have a sense of scale these things are nearly 6 feet tall. Don't ask me where I plan on keeping these things the other 364 days of the year but hey we'll figure that out then--meanwhile its build build build.

The other pink image shows one on its side with what will become foam trim molding pieces in their approximate locations. Each side has three pieces times 8 sides means a lot of these will be needed and that is what I have done this week. Each one is 2 one inch thick pieces glued together. Eventually I will be removing some material off one end to make a half round piece two inches tall to spruce up the columns a bit. That's going to make a ton of pink dust so hopefully I can move out of the garage for that step

The other pics are of an awesome prop I found online and bought. Pretty freakin' creepy huh? Well, I'll be "sea witching" her up a bit to go with the pirates theme better. Seaweed in her hair, and a scary scream maybe. Something like a mermaid ghost spirit I'm thinking.

Digging up stumps will continue next week as will the trimming off of the many face scratching costume grabbing branches. Stay tuned, Mateys
