I decided to begin with the only omission of note of this kit: the plinth.
Fewer busts are now provided with either a plinth (preferable), or a geometrical structure to sup- port the bust (rod, tube, etc.). I can certainly understand the savings involved; however, the rela- tively inexperienced miniaturist is in for a rude surprise! As I've mentioned in other postings, what- ever savings might be realized, I do not believe them worth the potential loss of a dedicated fol- lower, or never seeing the piece completed and displayed.
The plinth is now roughed-in, with preliminary finishing underway. So far, so good. . .
