White Walker - Groundwork I

The time has come to start thinking of the setting for the White Walker. . . 

I have tapped the display base to accommodate the pegged figure, and I have roughly modeled (MS) a section of a sizeable boulder the will occupy the left front corner of the base. And I or- dered a basing kit from Precision Ice and Snow. 

A good start. . .

White Walker - Prepwork 10: Final Finishing

The remainder of the prepwork will revolve around skin texturing and final clean-up. There is rela- tively little putty-work anticipated--save for the hair. I have a feeling that completion will come un- announced when I least expect it. . . 

10.09.2019--The enhancement of the musculature of the upper 'thoracic cage' is all-but-finished; as is the resurfacing of 'diaphragmatic arch'.

16.09.2019--The White Walker is effectively DONE! Some surface finishing--filing, sanding, and polishing--remains; but he should be ready for priming by the end of this weekend, next at the latest. Which brings this arc to a close. I will resume postings to cover the reworking of the pte- ruges when I get to that. . .  

25.09.2019--Obviously, the figure didn't get primed last weekend. . .  It is Q3-end at work, and I/we am/are drowning! I probably won't resume work on the White Walker until the 5th--or, more likely, until the Columbus Day holiday. . .

White Walker - Prepwork 9: Finishing

There is quite a bit of work remaining before I can even begin to contemplate priming; however, the work ahead of me--save for the reworking of the pteruges [NB: as the pteruges have already been fitted, and the remaining work is largely cosmetic in nature, they will probably be finished after the painting of the figure itself is well underway]--is indeed that of "finishing". As always, I will log the progress as an itemized s-b-s. . . And as always, should any reader require addition- al details/information, please do not hesitate to ask in the Comments. . . 

02.09.2019--The arms have been fitted, and I have begun the enhancement of the musculature of the 'thoracic cage'.

03.09.2019--The coiffure: I have restored most of the reduced hair--all that remains to be done is the 'skullcap' that will bridge the forehead and main body of hair. . . and frame the face. 04.09-- The coiffure is DONE! All that remains to be done is the final surface texturing.  

05.09.2019--The arms have been permanently attached! The skin texturing can now begin in ear- nest!! FOLLOW-UP--The head is now permanently attached! The foundation figure has been as- sembled in toto!!
