The set is just a pile of lumber–random lengths of 2×4 and scraps of lauan–until it gets painted. That’s exactly what happened today. While I was racing pinewood derby cars with the Cub Scouts, the art team lead by Scott Cantrell and Meg Lau performed their transformational magic.

I can’t wait to see the finished the product in a few short weeks.

In addition, here’s one of the banners for the show the art students have been prepping.
