- Assemble and glue critical areas and sub-assemblies such as head skins and throat componentry.
- Ability to learn fabrication of component parts using both hard and soft materials, with an understanding of the processes and techniques involved, such as casting; trimming; tooling; gluing; sculpting; and painting.
