THUNDERBALL!!! – Prepwork (5): The Speargun

As work continues slowly--but surely!--on the DPU, I resumed working on the speargun.And it is now completely assembled. . . BUT, not before deciding to remove Bond's right hand! This was yet another bad call on the part of the sculptor/s and/or the design team. . . 

By removing Bond's hand, I can now proceed without worrying about the relatively fragile weapon; and its positioning is limited only by the anatomical limitations of the wrist joint--and the aesthe- tic considerations of the vignette. 

But first I will have to drill out the distal portion of the right forearm, and sculpt the wrist stump. . .
