I finally took some pics. Also got a bit more gluing done.

Now you can kind of see why there have been multiple gluing sessions. Each bar on the cage is a separate piece. Which is where I ran into issues when I was originally working on this. I was trying to use super glue to stick acrylic to resin. And it wasn't working. Now I am using 2 part epoxy and it is going much better. Especially since I got a new glue. Each part is a separate bottle. Not one of those double syringes like I always used before. That always made a huge mess, dispensed too much, always eventually lead to issues getting even amounts as one side would bind up or just not want to push out. Having individual bottles has been amazing.

Also had to replace a hand on The Girl. Somewhere between when I last worked on her, and recently, a finger broke off. Instead of trying to do a finger I just replaced the hand. The model is based off the Cromagnon Woman, and I had plenty of extra limbs for her. So I just cut the old one off, cut one off and extra arm and pinned and glued it on.

That cage is looking very cool!

Replacing the whole hand was a great idea , since fixing broken fingers is never fun and always a challenge !

That is a Kogar kit that I reposed to raise his arm. Since I have so many versions to build I wanted to mix things up a bit.
The Girl is part of the Graveyard Scenes line. (started out as resin interlocking bases for the Monster Scenes kit, then expanded with new kits with interlocking bases) The Girl is just a generic female to help balance out the models. Could be potential prey, or a heroine. I chose to paint mine to look like Velma from Scooby Doo. I have seen others paint her to look like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
