Thanks, I used a press and pull method for the scales with some sheet rock mud. It took some learning but once I got used to how things reacted and the dry time needed it was pretty straight forward but time consuming. To answer the other questions---- It's a snow dragon but in her summer colors---this stuff takes some imagination !! And yes I have a plastic figure that is being modified greatly to stand next to her. The fact of the matter is--The figure has been a real PITA. I wanted her--It's a female-- to have a sort of knights armor. That's turned out to be a real challenge. I started with foil as a base for the parts but that was a disaster so now I've gone to very thin clay and that seems to be on the right track. I don't have any pics of that process but I'll get some up. I painted the figure with a gloss black overall color and then began to apply the armor---funny, it looks like a storm trooper right now !! I am going to add some pearl white overall to lighten the dragon up just a tick.Wow!!! That's really impressive! Are those individual scales or are they a pressed pattern? Did you use cloth for the wings? As people have mentioned, it would make a neat rocket/RG/BG!
What kind of dragon is it? A white dragon? Grey? Frost? Sand?
S/he also appears to have a saddle. Are you sculpting a rider too?
I once met a woman during an airbrush demo at an art store who put her two kids through college by making & selling paper mache animal heads. At the time, I thought it was odd but after seeing this, I can understand.
Looking forward to the completed model!
- thanks for checking it out--H
---still some detail work to do....
Hope you have enjoyed this little adventure--and now back to rockets---------------but there is that Red Valley Dragon................................................
