As with the Red Skull, not quite, but close enough. . .
The finishing is all-but-done, and the groundwork is currently curing in the oven.
Re: the latter. The figure will be mounted on a 2.75" circular base: this not only complements the "swirl" of the trench-coat, but minimizes the amount of dead space, while still drawing the viewer "into" the figure. However, as anyone who has made circular groundwork knows, a regular, symmetrical perimeter is not easily accomplished. Thus I am experimenting with creating a removal "slab" whose circumference and surface can be finished prior to being permanently mounted on the display base. The figure has already been fitted and preliminary scribing of the flagstones has begun. I am considering taking advantage of this modular approach to distress the firmament more than I normally would.
In my next posting, which will be the first installment of the painting thread, I will post images of the dry-assembled figure primed: the work I have done will be obvious when comparing the primed figure to the painted boxart.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!!
FOLLOW-UP. . . Save for some finishing touch-ups--which will probably not get done until the groundwork is permanently attached to the display base--the groundwork est fini !!!
