White Ape of Barsoom--Prepwork: Phase (1)

Let the cutting begin!!!
  • Fig. 1: I first assembled the two-part torso (dorsal half [with arms] and body; nb--forearms cast attached to the lamppost). I then bisected the torso at the terminal edge of the vest before setting the upper torso aside.
  • Fig. 2: Dorsal half of the torso set aside for safekeeping. Upper section of the body then reduced to the mid-pecs, more or less. Fig. 1 was then pegged to Fig. 2.
  • Head: No major work done to this point, save grinding off the pince-nez, the collar and bow-tie.
A very promising start. . .

FOLLOW-UP . . .
  • Fig. 2: Dorsal half of the torso has been sectioned vertically, and the arms roughly fitted to the pegged compound figure.
  • The assembled intermediary left limb has been straightened and permanently attached to Fig. 1 (note: the upper third of the body [the primary shoulder girdle]    can still be removed from the rest of the actual body).

Coming together very nicely. . .
