Black Dragon, In Steps

So, I've been hit by a curveball in life. I don't know what I did, but a little more than a month ago, I strained a shoulder/neck muscle. I went to the doctor after a month or so of merely hoping it would go away on its own, but it kept readjusting itself. He advises me that until my neck heals, I should refrain from doing anything that requires me to bend it forward for long periods. This implies that I will need to take a brief respite from constructing.

But I had already begun working on Piececool's Black Dragon. I paced myself, restricting myself to about one-hour construction sessions, usually no more than one per day (I did one morning and one evening session on a Saturday), because I really didn't want to leave it in a partially finished state. I have been taking things easy, although it's probably not the best decision. However, doing so implied that It takes a bit to put the evaluations and visuals together, so I couldn't finish my piece in time to publish this week. Nevertheless, since Piececool numbered their stages, I had decided to photograph [almost] every stage of the build. In the interim, it could be interesting to combine those and share them.

Yes, I am aware that I omitted a few stages. I forgot about some of them, and others didn't make sense as distinct steps. Apologies. Along with connecting the wings in stages 58 and 59, I deliberately chose not to release a "finished" photo since I wanted to save that for the significant review. I'm not sorry.

Regarding the future... Next week, I intend to publish the actual post/review for this model. After that, I may take a complete sabbatical or limit myself to quick, easy constructions that won't strain my damaged muscles. There are still some Legends and Legends-related models in my backlog. Anyway, I apologize for the possible lack of work in the upcoming weeks.
