Leviathan Mermaid Whirligig + Vollis Simpson Whirligig Museum Park Project

Item: The Mermaid and Whale whirligig is taking some tweaking and fine tuning and the articulation on the spout and tail needed some attention. A key hole is enough access to bend the end of the push rod 90 degrees and keep it engaged to the mermaid lift because with enough wind a whirligig can thrash itself to pieces. Here is a photo of the progress on this gargantuan creature. A ship keel silhouette feature now adds some interest.
At the Vollis Simpson Whirligig museum Park Project the reflector box base is disassembled for cleaning and will go out for a hot dip galvanized treatment next. Clark is on the pressure washer here.
