Durham Red - Painting: Finishing - Intro

I am nowhere near being finished, but the finishing of the figure officially has begun, And it will be a l-o-n-g process. . . 

The nanosuit itself has been "anodized" in oils, and is now ready for final touch-ups. This will be an ongoing process to create an integrated flow of colour and light. As such, it will not be consi- dered done until the figure has been permanently mounted on its display base.

In the meantime, the arms have been basecoated with a metallic finish, and the fluorescent red LED's on the right side of the nanosuit have been painted. Thus the way is clear for me to perma- nently attach the right arm once I am ready.

More to follow. . .

FOLLOW-UP. . . The right arm is now permanently attached, and Phase I painting of the same has been completed.

FOLLOW-UP (2). . . All the fluorescent red LED's of the nanosuit have now been painted, save for the areolar pairs. The left arm is now permanently attached, thus assembly of the figure has been completed

FOLLOW-UP (3). . . The breechclout is done! WHEW!!
