All tape removed, washed with soap and water and blown dry. Still ugly because the airbrushed colors are dry, opaque and some areas have grainy overspray buildup.
This is a scene from the Cape Town Stadium in Green Point, 1 day before handover of the stadium to the City of Cape Town.
Now it's starting to look like a saucer! Tomorrow, we will start covering all that PVC with silver tarp.
Here's the completed bike! Took it for it's inaugural ride on Saturday. After a minor adjustment or two, it rode like a dream.
Can't wait to start training for the NYC Century Bike Tour and the Bike MS Ride.

My completed scorecard for the game between the Detroit Tigers and the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, Pittsburgh, PA, 07/01/06.
The Pirates won, 9-2.
So I decided to get more interesting motives. One way would be taking portraits of strangers. This is my first time actively asking somebody for permission to take their picture.
I spent the whole day looking for interesting people, wondering how I was going to approach them. This needed to be different to the secretive shot-in-a-crowd picture. I know that I'm only good with people I know, somehow it helps find the right moment.
So not only did I want their permission, I also needed to find out something about them beforehand.
The picture didn't work out quite that way; I took an easy route. Anna sells newspapers, and she was the only friendly person in the subway station. After passing her, I turned around, bought a paper. I told her of my dilemma, that I had been worrying about failing on the first day of my own assignment.
I guess buying the newspaper wasn't really cheating, as it helped me talk to her, but it definitely was an excuse.
The shot took only a minute, I was too nervous talking to a complete stranger, so finding a good light and neutral background didn't allow much waiting for a more personal expression.
On the other hand, the portrait captures what made me stop and walk back in the first place, an earnest smile. Thank you, Anna.
Thanks to excellent planning and management the project remains under budget and ahead of schedule. What one might think are trees in the background is the section of the channel where the end of the barge with submarine's bow will be positioned during off-loading.

Now, we need to fix that wall and replace that coffee table...and get a rug...and new windows...and... :P
I'm still not super happy with how parts of the top carapace came out. lesson learned, GW's yellow paint is still a bitch to work with. tons of layers to get full coverage and it ended up gloopy in a few places. I also should have been patient and waiting to get a pot of new white rather than use my 4 year old skull white when I did the stripes because they came out kinda chunky too. Oh well. Also the House crest decal makes it really obvious my stripes weren't as straight as I though. Oops.
That said I still think it looks cool, and lessons learned for if I attempt this again. And the window turned out pretty neat, though looks better in person
and now we have knobs! jadeite, to match the lovely jadeite dishes my maternal grandmother has been kindly gifting us with each year for christmas. nice little fern in the corner. top doors next... we were going to leave some of them off permanently, but today i remembered earthquakes, so now we are thinking harder. and oh, the irony: the stovetop (newish and untouched in the work we've done) developed a short on thursday and we're living on takeout. ohhh the universe's sense of humor has no end!
This project I had the pleasure of working on with my father Panayiotis Vikos. We toiled day and night (literally) for close to 2 months completing this sculpture (I'll order it from start to finish). It was then painted and used in a mall in Dubai as a time piece (mechanical pieces too). This scribe sat on the elephants back - total height 7m. He may be small but he looks amazing!
