Small change in the order. I think I need to do the wings first. Why?? Because when the hair falls from the back of the head, it'll need to lay between the wings, or on the outside of the wings. Improper positioning, may make it so that I can't attach the wings at all. These wings were what actually drew me to this model in the first place. Clockwork butterfly wings just aren't something I see very often.
I've included a picture of the wings. The bit on the left shows the individual pieces, and the one on the right shows more or less what they'll look like when assembled. If you look, you'll notice that the moulding process left a bit of a "skin" in the webbing of the wings. That's why some sections are solid and others have holes in them.
So then, first order of business,... hollowing out the wings. After that, I need to decide on a paint scheme. Should I bring the purple and black up into the wings? Or, because they're clockwork, a metallic of some kind? silver? gold? perhaps both??
Hrmmm,.. thoughts??
