The bust is now completely disassembled, save for the head which will be worked around unless circumstances dictate otherwise. The parts- count stands at six, including the base.
The adhesive used and the overall softness of the resin has made disassembly a bit more nerve-wracking than it should. There will be some minor repairs ahead of me, but nothing untoward; and if nothing else, it will prompt me to make some improvements, if not outright enhancements.
Final stripping is still scheduled for the weekend. . .
FOLLOW-UP - 21.07.2012. . . The stripping is essentially done. . . 99.5%+. Aside from the head, I have discovered an additional piece (pieces?) that will be left in situ: the inner mouth.
Let the finishing--and repairs!--begin. . .
