Kitbash: Vermithrax Dragonslayer Dragon

#1 Post by barad_dur »

Kitbash of Bill Weiger’s flying Vermithrax dragon from the movie dragon slayer.

Modifications include:
- replaced head with dragon head produced by Blackheart models
- extended neck and curved it for attack pose
- beefed up arms and thighs
- modified under neck, chest, and underbelly armor
- sculpted new feet for attack pose
- sculpted new spikes on back of neck and spine

Many work-in-progress pics of this dragon bash (along with many of the other winged creatures and dragons shown in pics below) can be found in the Kustomizers section of this clubhouse site.

This one came out great! I follow all your kit bash threads from start to end. The amount of alterations you do on each piece is mind boggling and I can't wait for the progress pics you put up from start to end.

For those of you seeing this one for the first time, I strongly recommend you visit the Kustomizers section to see just how much time and effort goes into one of these creations. Looking forward to the next installment of the Balrog project.

Thank you Scott

The unprimed kit is a Drogon dragon from game of thrones.
Sculpted by Sheridan Droose and produced by Noah’s Closet.
The details on this kit are fantastic.

The producers of this kit were kind enough to sell me some extra sets of wings.
I used one set of the wings to modify the weta fell beast nazgul statue.
You can see the original fell beast nazgul statue , and my modified version in pics below.
You can see many work in progress pics of this bash in the Kustomizers section of the clubhouse.

You underestimate my motivation when I want to do something for my friends. I read your post, did some "detective work", and found the original video on youtube. :D Link is below. Get ready to have your mind blown. :drool2:
