After work, but before my wife showed up, I cut and assembled the lower jaw. I'm already regretting my decision to "wing" the teeth (after tracing teeth from an actual skull onto the pattern) . . . they've ended up too short, too far apart, and too few. Oh well. It's still a wonderfully massive piece of cardboard, even slightly awe-inspiring up close. My amateurish photographs do it no justice (and some injury).We each ate about one biscuit too many, and then the wife helped me apply papier-mâché. She put another layer on half the upper teeth, while I started replacing duct tape with papier-mâché on the inside of the upper jaw.
At the rate the papier-mâché is going, it should be ready in about eight months. Fortunately, I have about three weeks, so everything will work out fine.
