- The groundwork has been undercoated (Vallejo Medium Sea Grey),
and a grisaille of Van Dyck Brown (oils) has been applied to integrate
the groundwork to the display base, as well as get an idea of the tonal
values to strive for.

- The first drybrushing (oils) session is in the can. . . This
establishes the basic tona- lity within the various textures. I will let
this set until the weekend, when I can hopefully begin to work on the battered,
gilt stone eagle. As with Dredd, this will be the most challenging aspect of the execution: how to best
depict weathered and battered gilt stone?

- Phase 1 of the painted gilding is now done. The overall tones might
be somewhat darker than I had hoped; but as a "base coat" I think I am
just about where I want--and need!--to be. I will probably start
working-up the colours tomorrow, and hopefully be all-but-done by the
end of the weekend.

- Painting of the groundwork is now essentially done. Finalization will take place once the figure is permanently attached.
