A person I work with at the temple is a sculptor and agreed to help McKay with the sculpture merit badge since there was a part that we were struggling with. He set us up with a foundry that makes his sculptures into metal. They were so great and helped us so much! This is Carl and he's awesome.
This is Nnamdi the man I work with at the temple. He's so nice and so talented. I love he and his wife.
This is one of Nnamdi's sculptures in the wax stage. Eventually it will be metal.
Carl took us on a tour and explained everything that happens. A lot of it I didn't understand, but McKay was right there with him.
The slat room that does all sorts of cool things I didn't understand.

One of the finished products in metal.
McKay had to make a fruit into a mold and then fill the mold and make the fruit out of plaster. Carl was awesome! He spent hours with us.
One of Nnamdi's sculptures. I think they are beautiful.
The mold is ready.
Waiting for it to set.
Quickening process to get the bubbles out.
They had to be pretty creative so we could take the mold home without the clamps.
Finished product! McKay is all done with the sculpture merit badge!
