The models are taking shape!

Welcome back from spring break.  I visited the studio today and found a few remarkable models under way.  Tuesday is the final review. I'll be there to help review the morning section. If you want a longer review or a review from Ethen- you might consider presenting in the morning. Email me if interested.
