Here is an image of the giant cardboard Gandhi sculpture in progress. So far I have finished the head and the hands. Translating this from the small pepakura files has been a bit challenging as the program does not scale up as large as I need – so I’ve been using an overhead projector (the one that the head in the pictures is mounted on) – projecting transparencies onto 4×8′ sheets of cardboard, then using a band saw and matt knife to cut out the shapes. A hot glue gun is being used to attach all the pieces together. So far the results are amazing – I think this is going to be a very interesting interpretation of my Second Life avatar.
