Doctor Doom -- UPDATE

Save for the usual touch-ups, etc., the putty work on Doom is done!

All that now remains to be done before priming is attaching the right leg to the body. The reworked gauntlet cuffs still have to be finished; but since the arms are to be painted pre-attachment, once I confirm the fit, I can set these aside until the time comes.

What will have to be done prior to priming is the groundwork. Since there are no mounting pegs on the throne itself , the assembled piece will be secured by a central brass rod into the body, and the slight indentations of the outline of the throne on the MS ground- work.

I'm about half-a-day behind schedule--priming is slated for next weekend, give or take.

FOLLOW-UP. . . The "groundwork" has been roughed-in using MS, and the assembled seated figure set upon it so as to leave an impression. Once the MS is cured, the "groundwork" will be surface-finished and detailed. Almost there. . .

FOLLOW-UP (2) . . . The "groundwork" is DONE! And with that, once the final once-over is completed, the figure will be ready for priming.

The gauntlets are all-but-done; just some minor touch-ups and final clean-up remaining. . . Back to the bench!
