Once the first few layers had hardened, it became a faster process of building up the collar for Cosmos Cat. With the basic form in place, I added some "L" brackets to support the bubble.
I want to be able to remove the bubble easily, just in case something happens in the future when Cosmos Cat might need to be repaired or modified.
I continued to build up around the brackets with Hard Molding Paste and created a "fur" ruff to cover the metal brackets and screws.

The fit is getting there. I still need to build it up in a few spots.
As you can see, I went a little crazy with the hard molding past on Cosmos Cat's head. There's still a little modeling of his chin remaining, and I'm debating on how much texture to add to the rest of his body. With his striped pattern, a lot of texture may be too much!
