Things are moving right along, and I am now working on the upper torso, namely the arms.
The right arm is all but done. Little work to be done save for a slight repositioning at the shoulder (lowered) and elbow (forearm raised and rotated into body). The shoulder joint is now finished.
The left arm will take considerably more work. The arm will essentially mirror the right, while the forearm will swing slightly away from the body, gesturing. The arm has already been sectioned mid-bicep, and has been tentatively "assembled", now awaiting final positioning.
Modifications to the left hand have already begun. The right hand will remain essentially stock though it will be reworked and redetailed as called for.
That's about it for now. Images will follow sometime next week: I don't want to lose the momentum, and things are somewhat hairy at work with month-end coming up.

A flurry of activity in anticipation of the weekend. . .
The left arm is now completely roughed-in and positioned. With the leftover MS, I began to rough-out the collar build-up. The collar appears to be the lynchpin article in this project: the difference is striking!

"Best laid plans. . . " and all that. This weekend got kiboshed by end-of-month work 'stuff', so time at the bench was all but eliminated. Still. . . the two arms are now all-but-done (NOTE: there was a bit more work than anticipated on the right arm--all good). And the mods to the upper torso--save for the cravat--are all roughed in.
All that really remains to be done are the keys, the cravat, the buttons (all 26 of them), and the pleats on the back of the frock.
Gettin' there. . .
