Blackadder's Scratchbuilt Lucius Pattern Warhound

[Nurglitch]

Have you considered having the Warhound walking on its toes instead of flat-footed? A la:

[Blackadder]

Yes but while Lucie is fully capable of attaining that pose the delicate structure of her movable toe joints will not support her two and a half kilo weight. If in fact I finish the wire supported diorama that pose is definitely in her repertoire.

When last we visited I was building a base for Lucie so as to display her on a shelf without toppling. But wire coat hangers are too flexible for a model of her weight so searched for a more durable rod of similar diameter. I have just found such a rod in of all places an electioneering poster support frame. These frames must withstand high winds at times so the rod is super stiff for it's diameter.

So Lucie now stands somewhat erect on a custom base that still requires further painting.

Soon to be displayed in my curio cabinet.

Lucy! Oh, how I've missed her. She's looking good, man. And the base does her justice. Good job!
