Excellent stuff, your updates leave me speechless, it is simply incredible!

How far do you plan on sculpting up the Dragons back before you tackle the legs? :-D

only one negative point... the progress goes too slow.. I wanna see more!!! :-X

Have you thought about how you gonna do the wings?

December-white dwarf now shows a huge dragon sculpted by the Perry's long long time ago, where yo had to make the wings yourself by adding foil...

I really wonder how you will do this... I always like a nice big pair of wings :-)

The legs can wait a bit longer, Jack. I want to finish the tail, back and neck before I get on to the legs.

I did a bit more on the left side of his tail earlier this week.

Wings!? You want wings!?
I don't know! You people! Never satisfied! :-X

Erm... I'll sculpt them out of stuff. That's all I can say at the moment... apart from, there'll be a wire frame for the bony bits and thin sculpted stuff for the membrany bits.

Dare I ask whether, once Master Smaug has been completed, you intend to tackle any other dragon projects?

It was just a question...

Honestly, some people... you try to encourage them and show an interest and they start throwing pebbles.

Well, more like gravel or talus really. Stop wasting time trying to hit me with stones - SCULPT!
You would think I had the entire host of Angband on my wish list (but we won't tell him until he has calmed down).

No offence intended, Dorthonion.

Stunning Nathan. It's been a huge effort, but the whole thing is coming together beautifully.

Health warning: please think calm thoughts and sit down before reading the next line.

I agree with Durinsbane.

WOW!

Looking better and better!

I feel you can almost see the light on the end of the tunnel! :lol:

Excellent progress. The great thing about this beastie is that, like the bigatures used by WETA, there is so much detail that the eyes have an absolute feast. Oh no, I mentioned food....
