by Jack Munro and Charlotte Austen
As part of Eggs for Soldiers, a long standing fund raising initiative for the charity help for heroes, hackney-based sculptors Jack Munro and Charlotte austen built a full scale – 12-meter long, 13-meter wide – sculpture of a Mark 1 Spitfire made from 6,500 Eggs for Soldiers cartons. The artwork was created as a feature piece of the march fourth event and was unveiled at the imperial war museum in duxford on march 3rd, 2013. The replica was constructed from a mixture of timber and steel framing, able to be broken down into 12 sections so as to be transported by lorry. CNC routing and laser cutting were mainly used to cut ribs recreating the planes iconic geometry. This skeleton was then skinned with fabric and covered with egg boxes.
