Thank you Paolo, I think it's a pretty neat concept myself. Integrating the magazine catch area as part of her base and the functionality of the sculpted robes as part of the "grip" make it more useful.
I think this about where I need to blast it and see what the folds of the cloth look like, whether they are ok as is, or will require more stoning.
I will use used glass beads, that is beads that are about the consistency of fine flour. That will give a very white look to the gown. I have a recipe for a green patina on stainless, or I may plate it with green gold, or if the glass bead finish looks "rightish" I may leave it alone.
