Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship

I got the nod to go ahead with this piece two weeks ago and began by experimenting with what would have been one "hemisphere" of a bass form, but scrapped it in order to build the primary shape, "in the round". Later I will add the tail, fins and other details.









After the styrofoam blocks were arranged, I used acrylic paint to bind them together. Not a great idea; it took quite a while to dry and is not a great glue, but it works on the foam. It would have been better to do this with a single large block of foam, but the stuff is quite expensive and I'm doing this on the cheap.

:-)








Starting to saw away at the form. I'll knock the "tail bit" off, and redo it later.
Will update soon; the Bass tournament starts July 23!
The clock is ticking.
