While inspecting my cured, yet-to-be finished neck, I noticed that there was no "seam" indicating the "crew neck" border of the opening of the stand-up collar; i.e., the combat suit flowed seam- lessly into the mock-turtle of the undergarment. UNACCEPTABLE!
So the molded mock-turtle is now history. All that remains of the original neck area is the man-
darin/stand-up collar. If the medium were resin, one might be able to scribe a line at the base of the mock-turtle, and call it day; however, being that it is vinyl, one is much better off eliminating the mock-turtle altogether. I have already resculpted the mock-turtle directly onto the neck, and will finish accordingly by the end of the weekend. DONE!! The head/neck will then be an indepen- dent stand-alone item that can be painted separately and simply plugged into place once the in- side of the collar is painted.
