Thanks Vlad!
Hah, no worries, but I do have to be very sure that the given creature is firmly attached to the base and very stable.
So far no tragedies… 🤞

Continuing to add details to claws, arms and shoulders.
Refining tail.
Making smoother, and hopefully more natural , transitions from uppper torso into legs , and thighs into tail.

Continuing to add details and spikes to arms
Cut off some of the existing spikes and then re-attached them ; making sure they have same direction/orientation as all other spikes
Will do the same with some of the spikes at the end of the tail that are aligned in opposite direction
I like symmetry.

Thanks you Vlad and Shane!

I am very close to starting the painting phase.

My options in order of preference are:
1. brownish / leathery paint scheme , which I believe tends to look more realistic and life like.
2. green
3. Dark reddish

Suggestions for paint scheme are welcome !

Some pale yellow with whitish highlights with some sickly green accents.

Your work has seriously improved. The skin details, the smoothing of, the putty work etc. Excellent work.

Another incredible bash. I know you removed the tongues opting for something smaller but the shape of the mouth makes me think of fire breathing. Are you headed in that direction?

By the way, the Model Club TV episode was Fantastic!!

Thank you Steve, Vlad and Rich!

Rich,
1. Thank you for the positive feedback on my model club tv episode. I am very honored to have been on their fun show.
2. I really like your idea about a fire effect for the mouths, but I am not a good enough painter to do a realistic fire effect.

Thanks to everyone following this bash!
