OK...

So I finally have this to the point where I feel comfortable showing in-progress photos. There is still MUCH to do before it'll be ready for molding and casting, but I wanted to show that I have indeed been busy on it.

You'll notice that nearly the entire thing has been covered in castilene, and some parts totally redone. I'm really pushing the detail this time around, and want to make the fantasy side come through as I imagined it initially. (those of you who have been fans of this design all along....I hope you like where I'm taking it)
