Given the pre-assembly painting required by this figure, as well as the inherent hardships in rea- listically depicting the casual, supported (3-point) pose of the same, I decided to square-away the groundwork before continuing work on the figure.
The groundwork provided, if one decides to use the plinth, is a challenge to stage for display while minimizing the dead space around the figure. I decided on a trapezoidal display pedestal, which not only fulfills this requirement, but creates an interesting structural flow and visual interest.
Once I conclude the finishing, I will permanently attach the plinth to the display base DONE, and proceed with finishing the groundwork.
