Hawkeye -- Pre-prep

As you can probably imagine, the figure has been removed from the branded resin display base, and stripped.

The statuesque proportions of the sculpt really scream at you once it's stripped: the piece is a full eight heads tall! I've never been a fan of statue proportions, and in this figure it is a significant distraction. So the first thing I did once all the paint had been removed and the figure washed down was separate the torso at the upper beltline, and countersink it ~2mm into the legs unit. The improvement is immedi- ately evident, though the legs are still somewhat on the thin side.

I also began preliminary scribing of the laminae on the left arm.

That about wraps it up for today. More to follow. . .
