regarding the "color" im not sure yet but that will come in time ok next step.. upper and lower part is 2 diffrent parts .. i want the mouth to be open a bit so im putting some syrofoam in between when im fixating them together .. its gonna be a gap betweenupper and lower part so i need to get that together too .. i will let it dry part by part to be able to add more fiberglass cutting out usable sizes of fiberglass and after a "few" hours it really looks kinda sweet .. ok so far so good ,, this was the "easy" part .. the problem i have right now is making teeths.. how and what material shall i use .. i can use wood but i dont wanna do that that i think will have a tendesy to crack .. i might be wrong but i have that feeling .. make them in styrofoam will make the melt when making them hard .. so ill try a idea i got .. filling a small aluminium pipe 4cm diameter and aprox 10cm long .. filling it with fiberglas putty after a while you just press the putty out of the pipe and you got a piece of fiberglass like the inside of the pipe.. you work this a while and you will have something that starts look like a tooth, gonna put some 2 component epoxy metall on it to fill the holes and it will start look ok i think.. repeat that again and you got 2 of them .. and thats it for now .. more to come ..
could you, instead of filling a tube, create teeth around a metal shape, and have a few different sizes and build the different teeth off those as bases?
well i just shaped 16 teeths in diffrent shapes and i wont do that again .. ak small update .. i made 16 teeths in diffrent shapes and forms .. and this is the 2 front teeths taking shape .. as said before i filled aluminium pipes 4cm in diameter and 10cm long with fiberglas putty. letting it harden and then pressing it out of the pipe .. i repeated the same procedure and got the two front teeths, worked some on them and discoverd there was some air in the pipe and need to fill that and will do so with epoxy metall . on with some epoxy metall and more work .. the teeths should be "used" and not colgate white i will drybrush and make them look used .. testeing doing the first of the flesh on the top of the teeths and we will see how it goes later .. thats how it looks now .. i have done 14 more teeths for the rest of the mouth .. smaller diffrent sizes and shapes but lots of work on thoose yet ..
tho i have a question or maybe someone got an idea or thought about it .. how many teeths does a dragon have .. lol ..
ok small update .. made the teeths 16 of them .. but the skin pattern/structure can get off my mind .. have no idea what to make but that will be solved .. top and lower part of the jaw/head coverd in putty because if i want to make some kind of structured skin or if i just want it look smoot i can work with that .. the inside of the upper part of the jaw that i made half round . thats where the teeths will be teeths put to place , tho not done by far .. and this is how it looks now .. i have a hell of a job with this to do tho
I think you need more teeth, seriously, looks too sparse on the upper jaw. Maybe you should chip some of them off as if the dragon try to eat a knight in armour and broke some of its teeth.
I think so to. You need at least twice as many, and perhaps lots of small ones on the lower jaw aswell
lower jaw will come .. but the thing was to make the upperjaw to see what ya thought .. and now i know
Damn GoTall, were do you get you ideas from? The SweC Case excellent but I't looks like this will be even cooler! Keep up the good work!
ok small update .. the tooth part is being filled up in the upper end of the jaw.. and yes the lower part will have teeths later dont know if it shows that much on the pics but there is 3 more teeths on each side .. not painted just raw so far but will be changed later .. ok next step .. the "pattern" on the skin.. i asked a dude "geoff" about hes thought about dragon skin .. he said .. scales .. and no obtions .. he even gave me the link to google with dragons .. so what do you do .. i just thought .. how hard can it be ..?! i put putty on the head erlier and this will be used to make the scale surface, so i took the pen and drawed some scales on a part of the head and then the dremel showed up i can just tell you guys dont try this at home .. damnit i will never do this again it will be lots and lots of scales .. and takes time, this is just a small part .. the scale to the right got more work done to them but more to come, looks really nice actually ..
I hope you are using a dremel with a diamond tip engraving round head. Or w/e that will make its rather easy.
