The Lion - Prepwork I: The Cuirass (2)

As it turns out, as of this writing, the foundation layer will be all that is required for the basic cuirass.

This evening, I:

1. Began shaping the breast of the cuirass (coarse grinding with burr).
2. Finished applying the foundation layer of MS to the back.
3. Reduced the arms by grinding down the pteruges and roughly shaping the arms before permanently attaching both arms to the torso. 

So far, I am very pleased. . .

UPDATE 16.03.17--The cuirass--back and breast--is now roughed-in and shaped, ready for the detailing and fine finishig. . .
