Cast parts pinned together

I have started to fill in any discrepancies that didn't quite come out in the casting process with apoxie based magic-sculpt, I prefer this kind of sculpting material over milliput as it is less spongy and works more like a clay. I am also going to use this material to sculpt in the garment around the hobgoblins shoulders as well as the coat tails around the tops of his legs. The texture of his socks didnt quite come out in the cast so I have also added a thin layer of magic-sculpt around them and re-textured them.

I have pinned all of the cast parts together using some 5mm brass rod that I had left over from another project. The rod will provide additional strength to all the joints in case the Hobgoblin is knocked and the glue fails. The rods will also help by holding the parts when they are being glued together.
