The original idea for the base is done. This is the real sculpture from the SketchUp design. It was OK. The shapes were interesting, the size was right. It was not the complete design. The SketchUp design did not include the mast that was in the original maquette. I had the base standing vertically as I was working with finish welding. I really liked the way it looked standing on edge. So I made another one to interlock with it.
