The other guy is working around on the back, but he stopped to take a break. They have completed quite a bit of sculpting in the past 5 days. You should have seen the wind whipping up a monster frenzy of Miles the Monster dust!!

Thank you!! I've been having a blast!! I'm thrilled at the chance to do this for everybody. It's just amazing that it all worked out, that I happen to work for Snavely and Dosch and that A.C.I. composites happens to be one of our customers. The guys at A.C.I. have been very accomodating to me as far as my coming there (almost) every day!!

They called in an order today and in that order they needed paint paddles, which we were waiting for our order to show up, it finally showed up, so on my lunch break, I showed up with their paddles. Dwight told me he was just getting ready to call us to order paint. So when I get back to work, I will be making the paint for Miles the Monsters eyes!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!! Then after work I will be delivering the paint to him, since I told him I was coming to take photos after work!! They are having a media day on Thursday, so they would like to have his eyes done and in place. So after Thursday, our Miles will be able to see!!

Personally, I wasn't thrilled when Dover changed the monster from the dinosuar to the concrete man, but this all has totally changed my mind!!

Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

As always, great pics Team Yates. Can't wait to see how they put the car together up there in his right hand, or however they do it.

Cool Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

I need to add some comments here:

Yesterday at 2:30 pm, I called Gary Camp the public relations manager of Dover, I got his voice mail, I left him a brief message and he called me back about an hour later. I told him that I had been taking these photos of Miles the Monster and wondered if Dover wanted copies, of course he thought that I was trying to sell them to them, but I told him that wasn't the case. He then told me that they were having a media day today at 11:30 am. I asked my boss yesterday if I could take an early lunch today and he didn't mind. Last night, my husband took all the photos and burned them onto a disc for Dover. I gave Mr. Camp the disc today at the media day. I told him that I was going to keep taking photos until Miles leaves Lancaster and that I would send him a disc of those photos. So, some of the next couple photos are from early today at media day and the others from after work.

Re: Birth photos of Dovers Miles the Monster composite

Once again TY I have to compliment you on such a great job. In your next communication with Gary Camp tell him how you've posted all th epics on a national sports website. You never know we just may get a little more exposure from it. Can't wait for more pics. Nice job on the eyes !!!
