Moving right along. We have now reached the zombie Cochrane stage. Underlayer number 1 has been applied to the torso. I have very roughly modelled some anatomy, this is entirely unnecessary however I like to do it since it helps me to make sure the next layers of clothing will go on about right. It's like building the interior of a tank that no-one is ever going to see but I know its there.
I have also added a rough nose shape to build some flesh upon a little later and I have added the armatures for his arms. These are not cut to length yet nor properly positioned, but I like to get them added so that I can check the shoulder sculpting and overall size. If anyone is building figures this little shoulder joint detail may be useful. I insert a piece of square
evergreen plastic into the shoulder itself then glue a corresponding piece of square plastic onto the ends of the arm armature. This way I can take the arms off whenever I want but they will always go back in the same position.
I will try to keep the arms separate so that painting will be a little easier.
