By way of follow-up, pre-prep is well underway. For the most part, this is not delicate work as such, so it tends to go fairly quickly--at least in the early stages.
To date, the right upper arm has had the sword removed and has been permanently attached; and the right lower arm has been removed. The attachment sockets for the tendrils/tentacles have been filled; and the head has been bereft of horns, and pegged and roughly repositioned: she will be looking up at her right fist. The prehensile tail has also been removed. Finally, all the chains have been removed, and surface finishing has commenced.
So far, so great!
FOLLOW-UP . . . Surface finishing continues, and the putty-work has begun--namely, filling in voids and minor surface imperfections; the clefts in the hooves; and any remaining attachment sockets.
UPDATE - 20.06.2012. . . Surface
finishing and putty-work continues. I have begun the modding and detailing of the torso and things are coming together splendidly! In fact, she is barely recog- nizable as Euryalia! While I am just about ready to permanently attach the head, I do not want to get ahead of myself as I have yet to start working on the tentacled aural stalks.
Movin' right along!

Ngila G'rnt
I've just received Euryalia, Queen of Ker-Ys from Maelstrom Games. She is the tenth release in their BaneBeasts series.
While she is an intriguing character, doubtlessly inspired by some of Clive Barker's fantastic creations, I did not acquire her to make a tortured Cenobite. Rather she is to be the base figure upon which I will develop my interpretation of Ngila G'rnt, Green Lantern of Sector 542.
The character of Ngila did not exist prior to the cinematic debut of the Green Lantern, though she was featured in "Emerald City", the second story in the Green Lantern Movie Prequel: Hal Jordan.
But lest we get ahead of ourselves, a quick review of Euryalia. Save for the fact that some of the molds are fast approaching the time for replacement, this kit is everything you would expect from a Bane-Legions offering. Which means that although some of the 11 pieces comprising the kit are not quite as "clean" as one has come to expect, they are still beautifully cast. And all the vital, deeply undercut detail is crisp and clean! In fact, the worst part of this project will be eliminatingmuch most of that sublime detail!
The oven timer just went off, so I will leave you with this little teaser and let you do some digging on the Web, as I go back to Thanos. . .
