This is a dragon I'm working on for the library that will go into the kid's section. The skeleton is of foam core plastic tube construction and will be covered with a skin and scales. I painted it just to get an idea of what it would look like when finished. I'll paint the base colors with a spray can and go back in with an airbrush for the details. I'm still experimenting with articulation of the neck.

Steven,

You are extremely talented - you have Art Major written all over that one for sure. Very Nice. I agree with Eddie in that children will love that - I sure do.

The funny thing is, while in high school, my senior year I took nothing but art courses.....then I got my MA in history.....extreme? yeah you could say that...

Thanks everyone for the comments. It's been fun doing this so far!

Steve wel concieved and executed and thanks for the construction pics- helps with ideas I have
yes it is funny about were our lives lead
I was told by my grade 8 art teacher to not bother with art and by my y10 teacher for drama to try something else and my mum said not to do modern history.
I love Sculpting,History and have been involved in numerous theatre in my younger years
Love to see your dragon in place in the library

Thank you very much.

I'll have some photos of the finished product, hopefully by Monday. Covering the head is taking a lot of time.

Well Steve...

First of all it's great you're doing this "Flame Trower" for the kid section of the Library - it's a great gift!
Second, it looks really cool

More pics of it please
