Kitbash dragon alien man - reworking - new pics 2020-02-24

#1 Post by barad_dur »

2020-02-24 new pics page 1, started reworking first version , cutting up in progress

Reworking my old dragon alien man kitbash.
I originally started with x files alien statue.

Image

First version: I scratch sculpted a new head, used for arms/claws, tail, and back spikes from dragonheart draco kit, beefed up arms, legs, feet, and added armor like plating.
This was the very first time I attempted to scratch sculpt a head and the feet, which pretty much explains why I need to rework this bash...

Now I am going to rework this and: replace head, lengthen tail, make legs more dragon like(double jointed), add wings that I cut off the weta balrog statue for my balrog bash, rework feet, legs, chest and abs.
Started cutting up the first version.

I will modify and use the wings and dragon head below.

OMG! I used to have that Alien statue. I think it was billed as being the alien from the first X-Files movie. Anyway, looking forward to this project and your scratch sculpting looks pretty damn good so far.

Thanks! Here is another winged demon bash that I did with the same x-files statue.
I am holding off working this bash until I finish my taun taun dragon bash, but the new head is giving me fits.
