Today was Easter Egg day!
We finished up our project and I'm IN LOVE with my egg. Getting him to come together was a little bit of a challenge, but hes done!
To tell you about how he was put together I should show you what it is...
Any Futurerama fans?
Introducing BENDER! |
I think one of the hardest parts of putting this together was using a hot copper pipe to shape the back of his visor so it would fit with the curve of the egg. That took a while and we then had to do some patch work...but you would of never known.
Colouring him was a challenge too. Chef didn't have gray cocoa butter, so we had to make our own gray. Which made it really runny. So we had to spray him and go at him with a paint brush, then he needed 4 more rounds of spray and then pearl dust to make him shiny like a robot. Chef helped a lot with colouring him...I don't have a good relationship with that gun. It intimidated me.
The scariest part was when I carried him down to the Cafeteria. I'm yelling at Chefs to get out of the way, my arms are shaking, I'm holding my breath praying to just make it to the display table. No problems. Phew!
By far the best part of this whole project is when I heard people yelling "OH MY GOD! BENDER!" haha. Makes me feel really good.
I'm glad its over. Tempering chocolate in large quanities is done. woo! Just one more project stands between me and the end of the year. Black Forest Cake.
My classmates did an amazing job as well! Here are all the pictures of our work. Enjoy!
