The Making of the Grouse Statue

It's less than two weeks to go before the Grouse Statue is unveiled on the Broxden roundabout outside Perth. We've been filming its creation, week by week, and now the bird has flown the nest (so to speak). The body, which reminds me of a Second World War aircraft under construction, has been man-handled from the studio and placed on a trailer. The local rugby teams were called on to provide the muscle. And were we lucky with the weather! Clear-ish skies, not too bright sunshine (creates harsh images) and not too cold. The statue came out of the workshop without incident and is now on its way to Telford, to Joseph Ash & Co who have the largest galvanising bath in the UK.
