The front cod piece is undergoing some reconstructive surgery which will probably take some time to complete. In the meantime I suppose I should start work on the wings and shield. In addition, to make up for the issues on the kit itself, I've decided to compensate by sprucing up the kit's action base as well.

While nothing too amazing it's something new for me. Using techniques I've seen other folks do I'm adding various bits of cabling and tubing to give the effect of a cutaway structure of some sort. The core is an Action Base 3 topped with some scavenged gutter covering. It will be held in place with magnets and provide a cover for various pipes and whatnot. I'm not sure of the final colour scheme but I'm going to try a few new paints and see how they come out. Current mock-up of the base...
