...what's happening at the Flying Pig Gallery - Dec '97 to mid Jan '98
November 1997.
Vanessa Black from Border TV visited to do a short piece on cardboard
engineering for the local news station. The final piece went out in
early December 1997 and lasted three minutes. It was great!
In the photo Vanessa demonstrates the Mexican Peck model for the
camera.

December 1997
The Flying Pig model was finished and printed
also the second print run of Surfin' the Web was done.
Slightly different colour from the first batch - the original card
used for the body (raspberry) had been discontinued - red was used instead. If
you've got an original, hang onto it - it could be valuable in a few
years!
The rest of the month was shared between desperately sending out orders and
preparing for Christmas and a new baby at home.
January 1998

This month - once the updates to the website are complete we aim to
produce another free model to download and create some new models for the
gallery. (see notebook - left for some possible ideas)
Then next month another new kit.
The book Hopping Sheep should be released this month - it is printed but
is waiting to be bound.
We also plan to add some of Neil Hardy's work to the website this month.
Neil is an established automata maker whose work has been exhibited
around the world. His humorous wooden automata sell under the name
"Fabulous Animals" - something to look forward to!
