Anybody who is familiar with YMs knows that the first order of "real" business is to remove the pour sprues: this was straightforward and uneventful.
The first of the reference images began to arrive last week: thankfully most were of the groom's face/head. So, I tapped and mounted the head on its work pedestal and lightly sketched the areas to be enhanced/reduced with colored pencils. This is no different to my approach once an original head is roughed-in. Surprisingly, Young's sculpture is a fair likeness of the subject, so this will be largely an exercise in tweaking and refinement: I will slowly begin to add putty over the next few days.
That's it for now!
