In the last few weeks I have run the MultiCam only a little for I have instead been busy at the design table working up the ideas for a large project that will keep us busy into next summer. It’s a small theme park called Cultus Lake Adventure Park. I’ll be showing lots of progress here of course in the next months but for now I’d love to show some of the sign designs I am working on. Everything will be dimensional of course and our role will be to create all of the signs and the surrounding environments as well. So here’s a sneak peek at some of the sign concept designs for the rides and attractions..

The workshop/tool file was fun to do – just the kind of complex file I love to do. The key to doing this kind of work is to first have a clear idea of what you intend to do and then think about the order in which you need to do it. Understanding what a program like EnRoute can do is important. A file like this can teach us a lot in a hurry. Since there were so many steps and pictures I’ll be posting this in two steps

This weekend is a statutory holiday in our province so the crew is off this Monday. This gives me a little more time to catch up on some personal projects – one of which is the mechanical fish of course. With Labor Day now less than a month distant the ‘competition’ deadline is looming. Looking at my schedule for the rest of the month means I had to put a few hours in to make sure I don’t get behind.
