\nThe second cast went on week before last.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s in this one three weeks (removal day is October 1st).\u00c2\u00a0 If everything goes as planned, the arm will have remained unwashed for 6 weeks.<\/p>\n

I was not there for cast removal and replacement, but the report was that Will’s dark blue X-wing cast (with autobot logo)<\/a> made quite a stir.\u00c2\u00a0 The technicians cut carefully around the paintings and gave Will the cast to take home.\u00c2\u00a0 (Will has an uncanny fondness for things others would see as landfill fodder.)<\/p>\n

So… anyone have a creative re-use idea for a full arm cast with an X-wing painted on it?<\/p>\n

\nLast weekend, I fulfilled my promise of painting “Optimus Prime, ALL of him” on The Little Man’s arm cast.\u00c2\u00a0 He watched Mulan while I painted.\u00c2\u00a0 This time, he managed not to wipe his hand across the wet paint part way through, which really sped up painting time.<\/p>\n

It was late in the afternoon and rainy, so it was tough to get a good picture.\u00c2\u00a0 That, and the fact that Will, once released from the grasp of Mulan’s comforting glow, WOULD NOT STAND STILL.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 We’re outside, the ISO is on, like, 500 million, and the kid is STILL blurry.

\nHe’s posing with the cut-out I used for sizing guidelines.\u00c2\u00a0 Because of the bend in the cast and the bumpy surface, both times I’ve used cut-outs to help determine appropriate spacing.\u00c2\u00a0 Not that the method produced perfect results, but it was enough to keep Will happy.<\/p>\n

So, starting around October 2nd, anyone have ideas for re-using one full arm and one half arm cast??<\/p>\n
