The master needed to be sanded and any imperfections filled with
Bondo and spotting putty.

A dam was made from clay to allow a crotch section to be poured
using resin.

The tops of the leg sections were filled and an additional lip section
was added to allow the leg sections snap into the knee plates without
any additional mounting.

The crotch section is filed and sanded to the proper contour.

Final contouring, spot putty, primering, and wet-sanding still needed
but getting closer to looking like a nice set of legs.
