Note that no secondary piece has been permanently attached. The final position of the lance has yet to be set, and it is merely balanced at its center of gravity: it will not be permanently attached until the figure is mounted on its display base.
Other than that, any questions or comments. . . fire away!
FOLLOW-UP . . . The images are harsh in their detraction of the length of the neck! While the neck is undoubtedly long, the slightly oversized head and narrow shoulders do nothing to mitigate the visual discordance. Admittedly the coffin is not present to serve as a counter-balance to the apparent disproportions; nonetheless, short of resculpting the head, there is little that one can do. . .
I have decided to shorten the neck; or, set it deeper in its socket: the finished rework is now curing in the oven. While far from perfect, the difference is quite remarkable, and once the coffin is attached, the effect should be just about spot-on.
FOLLOW-UP (2) . . . In the course of fitting the right arm, it became plainly evident that the right "shoulder" was significantly narrower than the left. This would have been effectively camouflaged by the cross, and the reduced clavicular span may in fact have been intentional to accommodate the thickness of the artifact; however, without the cross, the accommodation becomes problematic. Thus, I have decided to permanently attach the right arm, and build up the shoulder joint.
