Talented? They probably took Mom and Dad's car and covered it in sand. Just looks like a sand castle.

I've got to have that pic!

Can someone send me the link?

xplode · Aug 7th, 2003, 04:55 AM

looks like it needs a good waxing, paintwork's a bit rough there in one spot.

or perhaps that's the new cordoba beige leather exterior?

That is the full size pic I'm afraid.

So how do I get it onto my hard drive? Right clicking the photo, then doing a "save as" doesn't work. PhotoSuite doesn't recognize the file type--even though I saved it as a .jpg file.

bascule · Aug 7th, 2003, 09:12 AM

Hopefully this should work.
If not send me your email address and I'll post it to you.

You could just do a copy/paste.

If it is genuine, then it is made with a special type of sand.

Most sand on the beaches, is as round as marbles due to the tides and the movement of the waves. This makes it hard to build with. The ideal sculpture sand has an angular grain and is less eroded. The ideal sand for sculpting comes from the River Maas and is carried with the water from the Alps. These mineral sand grains still look like dice of various sizes, which can fit together.

There is an exhibition running in Germany at the moment with loads of massive, really impressive sculptures - take a look if you are interested:

There are two of those on MINI2, I'll find a link later.

I did a search earlier, "ice sculpture" returned an empty set.

(Thanks Paul)
