Well Elvis is standing tall but at a bit of an angle I must admit. The air pressure inside is much grater than I had anticipated and the base is actually lifting him off the ground. The heads will need to be tethered if there is going to be any wind.

I will add D-rings to the back and cheeks as well as a series around the bottom edge to anchor them to the yet to be made bases. Oh joy more work... I'll have to get Joe to do it!

Moai number two goes together after a few false starts. I took the D-rigs off of the pumpkins and found some more small ones in my leather kit. I covered the cotton tape in strips of gold nylon to help them blend in and reinforce the D-ring placements.

Moai #2 inflates even better than #1! We'll call him Chris.

Now I just need to rebuild Elvis to add the D-rings to him.
