Description:
This Modern Age Wonder Woman model kit originated as a solid resin casting (see below).

Antony enjoyed spending many hours preparing the figure for painting. The sculpt is based on the artwork of Alex Ross as signified by the joined breastplate and utility belt. However, Antony made significant changes to the original sculpt resulting in this one-of-a-kind piece.

First, the grooves in the breastplate were deepened; then the bracelets were given more shape; and finally the bottom of the utility belt was raised to add a glimpse of the upper hips.

To create the true effect of armour, expert application of Bare Metal Foil was used for the gold and silver areas. A custom base adds proportion to the piece with a unique interpretation of the golden lasso swirling upward.
