Dragon repaint (sideshow ROF dragon bust)

#1 Post by barad_dur »

My repaint of the sideshow reign of fire dragon bust.
The factory paint was very monochromatic and hid the incredible detail in this sculpt.

Here is the before pic (found this pic on the web, hope it's ok to use as I didn't take a pic of mine before repainting)

Thanks Rich!
Added a base for my reign of fire dragon head repaint since I plan to bring this dragon to wonderfest.
Added lord of the rings “one ring” script (vinyl sticker) to a black rotating base.
Yes, I know this dragon bust is not Smaug, but the base looks cooler this way.

Beautiful work as always! The original paint up makes it look like a disgusting snake. :sick:

Your paint up has turned it into a beautiful showpiece! :D
