- Basic construction of Ice is all-but-done-- blade, cross-guard, and grip have been permanently assembled. Finishing--and the pommel!--remain to be done, but it is otherwise 'functional'.
- Arms have been fitted. All that remains to be done is resculpting the quilting on the sleeves, and finishing the gauntleted hands.
- Began reworking the pedestal to achieve a less angular, 'fixed' appearance.
More to follow. . .
UPDATE 22.08.15. . . The basic pommel has been modelled and fitted: it is now ready for detail- ing and finishing. The shadowcat pelt that serves as the collar of Ned's cloak has been reworked and enhanced: the uncredited sculptor obviously took it for a wolf's pelt. There was also some distortion of the pelt that precluded a "tight" fit: this is not at all unusual in this type of accessory item, and with some careful tweaking and judicious application of heat, can be corrected in short order.
UPDATE 23.08.15. . . The right arm has been finished and permanently attached.
