Porsche Carrera Weathervane
Porsche Carrera Weathervane - New weathervane design
Our Porsche Carrera weathervane was originally commissioned by a customer in Tennessee in 2008.He was building a new four car garage, affectionately dubbed “Garaj Mahal” with a 42” square cupola on top (see photos). We made the copper sculpture piece as a silhouette style weathervane in the medium size (two-foot sculpture piece) and we added optional gold leaf for the tail and side lights and palladium deaf on the door handles, hubcaps, headlightws, back bumper and side support.
Our customer was kind enough to send us a great set of photos of his weathervane, taken at different times of the year, atop his new garage.
I particularly like the photo with the brilliant red Cardinal perched on the weathervane, regally surveying its domain!
Fantastic works of art LizAnne. My students (high school) are using 1.6mm mild steel and cutting out with plasma cutter. I like the look of rusting steel. How do you make yours and what are they made from? Peter Jones West. Australia
