The Upper Back

 
 
Now lets look at the UPPER BACK. Here's some snap shots.






 
 
The neck should be about 1 inch away from the neck line.
 
 
Align the box in the back as square as you can.
 
 
I highly recommend you to cut away a flat area in the clay where the box will go...
 
 
...and then place wood blocks down for the box walls.
 
 
Place the detail workings in by hand either cutting out clay circles or using household items. I used a set of disposable contact lens cases for my deatil pieces in the back. Worked fine for me.... but then again I'm not 100% authentic about my costume projects either.
