Daredevil - Painting II: The Devil - Intermezzo

With the lower half of Daredevil painted and past touch-dry, there was but one thing left to do before continuing work on the project. . . having the Devil meet the Angel - PERMANENTLY!

And that is now done! Using VMS' Flexy 5K CA adhesive, I carefully slid DD into his pre-tapped and -fitted holes, making sure that his left lower leg was supported on the left wing--and walked away. 

Now comes the hard part: waiting until the CA is cured before handling the assembled project... 

FOLLOW-UP. . . That wasn't so hard. . . The glue was set to my satisfaction within a couple of hours. I let it cure for an additional couple of hours or so, and I then filled the hole of the painting rod, as well as bolstered the "footprints" on the Angel's wings. These small areas will be painted in the days to come. 

Movin' right along. . . 

UPDATE 07.06.2018. . . The touch-ups of the Angel have been completed! The major fill, that of the hole of the painting rod for DD, has been uc'ed. . . 

UPDATE 08.06.2018. . . The undersides of the trunks have now been completed in oils.
