Today the second "wedding"...:

Just fixed the body to the legs...:

66th day, January 23, 2015

After mounting the Body and the legs to each other I start now with the small parts of the kit.

There are two saber belts and the end of the sash from white metal in it...:



The fitting is again - as far it was to be proved in experimental tock - perfect.

However, I have decided to go to a different solution!

Last year I had made Andy's Cossack, and this kit contained a wild waving sash ...:



For this rather quiet standing figure it was - for me - too wild - a friend had indeed modeled me a new one, which I had also used ...:



But this moving sash was still in my sparebox. And for this wildly moving Cossacks it is exactely right...:



With "Proxxon" scalpel and sandpaper of various strengths I have the little thing now first cleaned and then modified so that it fits later.

After that the part was washed and primed ...:



That's it for today.

That's right, the sash will really add to the 'motion' of the dancing Cossack. Looking great Martin!

Looking really good Martin. Now that the body and legs are joined, a clear idea of the figure shows just how good alll the separate parts come together.

Let's see what he looks like with his head back on his shoulders.

Coming down to the short strokes... look forward to seeing this guy finished.

Keep going

Colin
