My new wetplate neck-head brace stand was shipped from the Ukraine today. The builder is an online Facebook friend, Andrey Badeev. It is a modern build of an old authentic 1800s design. The stand weighs in at 15 kilos (33 pounds), which is very important as it will not accidentally move during exposures. I also like that it can be used with a standing figure up to 190cm tall. The cost was $600 USD including shipping. It will probably take quite a while to arrive in this Covid-19 world. I hope to use it in the fall and then into the KANATA Ambrotype photo project for the next 10-15 years.
