All the armour, save for the left rerebrace, is now in the finishing phase. I will not commence work on the left arm until the everything else is done. . . or nearly so.
I have also begun work on the integrated plinth, but still very much in the preliminary stages.
Movin' right along. . .

Dimitr von Goray--Karol Rudyk Art 1/10 scale bust
Dimitr von Goray was the first bust released by Polish artist, Karol Rudyk. It was also the first bust in his "Vampire" series.
To date, the bust series has been a collaborative effort designed and sculpted by fellow artists--in this instance, Luke Starkie (UK). Karol is focused on the 'creatures' in his line.
It is a 1/10 scale resin bust, comprised of 8 pieces--including 2 additional pieces that appear like large fangs, but I have no idea if they are fangs--or where they might go! Casting was overall B+: a bit disappointing with significant sprues, a few air voids, mold 'roughage', and flash. Nonethe- less, clean-up is straightforward, and certainly not something to be concerned about.
My main "concern" is the design: the subject's lower chest and back are bare, as are the arms. This is my problem, as a fantasy subject is the artist's call, but it simply doesn't make sense! Also, the design of the torso is offset. Hence, most of my "prep" will involve sculpting a cuirass and the rerebraces, extending and reworking the sash--and undercutting all overlapping plates!
More to follow. . .
