...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
notebook jpeg 15k 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!
