Another shot of the completed body, propped up to display the detail captured in it.
The parts are cleaned and laid out on the table, ready for assembly.
The Dragon's eyes are placed inside the head, and the entire Dragon is assembled using steel pins and epoxy, and placed (but not attached) on top of the base.
After the epoxy cures, a two-part clay that cures harder than stone is used to re-sculpt detail and further solidify all the joints where the pieces fit together, resulting in a completely seamless, flawless sculpture that is identical to the original in every way - the exception being that the cast sculpture is many times stronger and more durable than the original clay piece, which was extremely fragile. Though the piece looks delicate, it is extraordinarly strong.
