After working on the top of the head there were some minor refinements and modifications. The largest of the interventions concerned the face of my Chewbacca. The carving of the face as a separate segment on the table, detached from the rest of the sculpture required correction. Not everything could be seen, and there was a fear of cutting off too much. And in the end the face turned out a bit flat. I wanted to add more gradients. Just a little bit. I left that question out on purpose. I was waiting until I could examine the whole figure. And now I waited for that moment.
 

 


I didn't take many intermediate photos. I took only the starting one, and then woke up when everything was already finished. It all happened so fast. 
And there's a paradox. You can't tell the difference from the finished photos.  It's as if I hadn't redone anything. But there is a difference. I "sunk" deeper lower eyelids, thus changing the vertical slope of the eyes, similar actions touched the cheekbones. And the rest of the small touches. It seems that in total the changes are not noticeable, but now my soul finally got what it wanted.
 

 

 

 

What's more noticeable is that now I've cleaned up the whole figure. And the fresh color looks completely different. You can also see in the last photos that the sculpture has become shiny, as if I polished it or rubbed it with oil. In this case I didn't even add a drop of oil. Since the work is not finished yet, oil can do some damage. The lion is assembled from segments that are held together with glue.
And there were already moments when we had to take the sculpture apart and glue it back together again. What if I have to take it apart again? Then the oiled wood could already be in trouble. So I didn't use oil. And I wasn't going to polish it to a high gloss on purpose. That's another difference with this kind of wood. It gets shiny very easily. This effect has been seen before, and then simple contact with a glove polished the surface in the same way. Now you can see the same effect, but without the darkening.

Hello.
 
I have found some problems and errors in the construction of the model.
It does not affect the whole structure, but it bothers me a lot and is annoying.
I took a creative break and I decided to make a completely new start.
This time in 1/48 scale.
 
Ich habe einige Probleme und Fehler bei dem Bau des Modells gefunden.
Es betrifft nicht die ganze Struktur, aber es stört mich schon gewaltig und ist ärgerlich.
Ich machte eine schöpferische Pause und entschied mich dann für einen kompletten Neuanfang.
Diesmal im Maßstab 1/48.

Hello modeling friends.
The model is planed according to the plan drawings of Gerard Delacroix, Le Fleuron 1729.
Scale: 1/60, Wood: Elsbeere (Sorbus torminalis).
I will build the model as "La Charpente", as shown in picture 0.01.
i.e. only the carpentry / joinnery,
without interior fittings and carving of the exterior.
