Finishing is now well underway, with all major mods involving putty at the very least roughed-in. The hat has been fitted, and the head repositioned and neck resculpted.
The bust has been re-posed and the pedestal reworked. Permanent attachment may be post- poned depending on the accessibility to areas that have yet to be finished, but everything is ready to be finalized.
FOLLOW-UP. . . The 'column', a section of brass tubing, has been permanently attached to the bust. Once the underside of the bust is finished, the 'column' will be permanently mated to the reworked plinth.
28.10.2017. . . The hair has been roughed-in, as has the baldric's buckle. UPDATE: The hair is in the final finishing stages, as is the buckle and tongue of the baldric. I would note that though designed separately, the buckle and tongue were conjoined as a unit during finishing that will be attached after painting. Save for the ends of the neckerchief and the buttons, this concludes the putty-work. Finally, final finishing of the plinth is underway.
29.10.2017. . . The ends of the neckerchief are now done! Final finishing and polishing is under-way. . .
