With the Thanksgiving holidays behind us, and the end of another year looming ever larger, the time has come to take stock of what's on the workbench, remove the distractions, and begin to plot-out what lies ahead. . .
As the Wolf Man (save for the trap and reworking the hands and feet) is in the final stages of finishing), it was time to play some catch-up with Nosferatu. As is oft the case, I was pleasantly surprised to see that he was much further along than I had previously thought: still loads to do; but more at refinement than actual reworking.
This afternoon I have all but finished the arms, continued work on the drapery of the frock, and set the eyes. Tomorrow, I will hopefully have time to effectively conclude the work on the legs and lay-out the strategy for the keys.
More to follow. . .
29.11.2009--FOLLOW-UP
The left leg is now all-but-done; the right leg about 80% there. The underside of the frock (i.e., the attachment plate for the legs) has now been cleaned and finished and awaiting its "dependents". By the end of the week, I should have the legs permanently attached and the rest of the figure undergoing final finishing. FOLLOW-UP (2): I have begun preparing the leg sockets to accept their permanent residents: all that remains to be done on the legs is the surface finishing. The head is just about at the final finishing stage as well.
Images to follow once the legs are permanently attached.
Moving right along. . .
03.12.2009--UPDATE
With two dozen buttons to make--or rather, enhance--I decided to tackle the tedium in 3 lots of eight. The first lot is now curing. . . one down, two to go. . .
04.12.2009--UPDATE (2)
Two down, one to go. . . In what I hope will be a productive weekend, I have the legs and the preliminary once-over slated for tomorrow. If all goes as planned, I hope to spend some time with the camera on Sunday so that there will be ip pics up by Monday.
Back to the bench. . .
