Giant Kiwi – The Design

It only took a friend a couple of days to draw CAD lines over the kiwi I sent him.

The main requirement was that all arcs had to be centered on an intersection of lines and all straight lines had to start and end at an intersection.  This is so that when marking it out, we have the grid to work to.

The result now is this:

The plan at the moment is that each square in this drawing will end up being 1.25 x 1.25m (Approximately 4 feet by 4 feet).

Giant Kiwi – The Plan

I have to go back to New Zealand in a month to get a new Visa for the UK.

It appears that I’ll be there for a good few months so I decided I better find some things to keep myself busy. The first idea I came up with was to paint a giant kiwi in the middle of a piece of land I own.

I came across the following picture at http://sneak.co.nz/kiwi/

I’ve just sent the picture off to a friend and hopefully he’ll be able to draw over it with CAD so I can mark it out easily.
