Red Skull #2--Preliminaries (3)

An update to the update. . .

The new head is coming along splendidly. . . Some additional scaling remains to be done, but definitely on track.

The main news is that I have attached the tails of the greatcoat to the torso, and fitted the former to the legs subassembly. This required that the locating pegs on each of the 4 component pieces be ground off, and the corresponding slits on the legs filled. It also required that the tails be reshaped somewhat to allow them to fit over--as opposed to around--the legs. There is considerable surface finishing to be done, but nothing unexpected or out of the ordinary considering the number of pieces comprising the tails. It should be noted that any finishing will be tentative until I see a full-body still from the movie: all I have right now is the concept art, which--I am delighted AND relieved to say--has proven to be remarkably accurate to date.

More to follow. . .
