While an integral part of a fluid progression, final subassembly has begun, as noted in the updates and follow-ups of the previous posting. . .
I have just permanently attached--and uc'd!--the right spaulder. I have also prepped the display base, and fitted the figure to same. By the end of the weekend, the left spaulder will be permanently at- tached. DONE! Thereafter, there will be but two items remaining to be attached: the plackart and the sword blade. While the plackart will be mounted prior to attaching the figure to the display base, the sword blade will be attached once the figure is completed.
One might say that figure is now on the home-stretch. . . far from it! The figure is now on Phase II+ of the oils--and final chromatic finishing, arguably the most difficult--and challenging!--aspect of this pro- ject. Stay tuned!!“When the cost of a hobby exceeds the fun and doesn't attract new people, the game is over.” -
