Oh My. I bet that was a lot of work. But what a fantastic job you did.
A few questions if you don't mind.
How long did it take?
Any special tools or techniques?
Does it come apart for storage?
Wow.
Thanks for sharing
thanks, and to answer your questions
1. I've been working for about three weeks now, One week I took off for vacation time, the other 2 mainly just weekends and an hour or so here and there during the week. I'm not sure of total hours, but i think it might be around 40.
2. Special tools? well a compound miter saw, and a radial saw. I wouldn't really say they are special, but probably someting not everyone has.
technique? I loosely followed these plans for the wood frame construction

I made the bones on the Bat wing out of Caulk, I guess that could be called special. Otherwise it was just measure, cut, miter, screw, nail, glue.I did find my rock mix CD helped, sespecially Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock."
3. Yes. It does come apart for storage, or at least I HOPE it does. I haven't disasembled it since I applied the foam, but the frame cames apart into left and right sides, the front and back, which both break in half, and the roof comes apart in the middle, so I guess that's.... eight pieces?
hope that helps.
