Daredevil - Painting III: Groundwork (2)

Over the course of the weekend, I completed the groundwork. As always, the invariable touch-ups and tweaks, as the elements of this project converge, lie ahead.

I have also decided it time to merge the "support elements", and permanently attach the Angel
to the groundwork/display base. The results exceed expectations! Now I can finish painting the Angel in situ.  

FOLLOW-UP 29.05.2018. . . While I fully intend to finish the Angel in situ (not that I have much choice now), I thought that I would mention that you would best be served by a 1:2 approach: 1 day paint, 2 days "rest"--minimum. The stains and other aspects of weathering need a bit of time to "settle". Your perception of the work also stands to benefit from the fresh/er perspective. When it's all said and done, you will achieve a more refined finish than you would by compressing the sessions.

Daredevil - Painting III: Groundwork

I have not executed "traditional" groundwork since I don't know when! By "traditional", I mean Celluclay, "grass" plugs, etc. 

Well, I was able to reset the clock this morning. . . The Angel is now tentatively mounted on its display base, with the groundwork all-but-completed, and drying nicely. By this time tomorrow, I should be able to begin finalizing the groundcover, and undercoating the Angel.

More to follow. . .
