    The log is called DragonHead Case... so i would imagine that this is a computer case, and like many logs, the case is finished before the computer is put in :)

    I personally think this is amazing, and i cant wait to see this finished :thumb:
    or at least conceptual sketches so we can see where your going with this...

    This would be the creation of the blank that you take a mould off. You then use the mould to make the shape out of a thin layer of fibreglass instead of being solid.

    Well that's my understanding of this situation anyway.

    1: the pc will be fit into the head when this is done .. 2: sketches? yeah that would be nice :) but i dont have any this is done from the top of the head and creation comes as i work . :) , i started with styrofoam and i put putty on that and after that i put fiberglass to make it really solid after that the styrofoam is removed "melted" and wat is left, yeah thats right the fiberglass case :)

    oki small update .. this took a while .. i tried to find a colortheme that i liked but damn its hard .. so i think this one is the one to go for . or something like it ..

    i made it red like before and i thoght that was ok on the scales but when it came to the head i didnt like it .. after a break i was back checking and no no that didnt do it for me .. so i started again thsi si how it looks now ..

    the red version
    [​IMG]

    after a while its red as a start color and then some brushing with a earth green/brown color and i think it looks sweet ..
    [​IMG]

    ok as you see on the pic above some parts are still to red and i will flatten thoose to the same colors as the scales but a bit darker ..

    its not as bright as this looks at the pic .. its teh same color as the above pic with the red parts still on ..
    [​IMG]

    will take some nocer pics and you will have something to look at later ...
