Okay, inspiring challenge accepted 🙂
I have now started actually building a dragon based on this image in 25 mm scale, for wargaming purposes.
I'm making a 'skeleton' out of balsa wood, wire coat hangers (For the wing bone structure), car body mesh, and LOTS of DAS modelling clay rolled very thin and laid on the frame in sheets.
The scales are going to be made from cereal box card, mostly, and I have some light, resin horns 3D printed out, and am now sourcing lots of cheap jewelry chains for the reins, etc.
I already have some wooden platforms made for gaming, so no problem there 😃
XPS foam for the mountain, and a couple of aquarium ornaments for the temple will find their uses too.
Already people are worrying about my sanity, having seen the WIP skeleton/bodywork, but are drooling over being able to see the finished result, as well as gaming on it.
Hopefully I'll be done in time for the Dublin ComicCon, and show it as part of the sci-fi/fantasy modelling scene.
Some serious late nights ahead for yours truly, but all worth it in the long run.
Thanks again for posting this image, as it's given me a serious challenge and lots of fun already. 😎
@Crystalwarrior
Wow that sounds totally awesome!😮
I wish you good luck for your aspiring project!
I f***ing LOVE this image!!!!!! ❤
I now have to go away and think about just how big this would need to be if I built one in 25 mm scale for a project.
With a village on its back, this would be a spectacular model/centrepiece for a wargame table scenario.
Thank you so much for posting this image.
Unbelievably inspiring 😃
