Hey everyone,

Just wanted to show you guys a WIP shot of Smaug.

So far I'm really happy with the way he is turning out and next steps are to apply the detailing with the brushes !


What do you all think ?

Hey, I did indeed use an airbrush. I've got a little touching up to do then it's onto the brush work for the finer details

So some progress,

He is almost complete !




So that's the paint job finished and below are his wings attached !


All that is left to do is cover the Greenstuff showingand glue him to his base and maybe do a second coat of varnish too

Gorgeous model!

Thanks for sharing. Even if it does make me ashamed of my painting skills (or lack there of).

Looking superb! The attention to detail in matching the movie colours is most impressive.

I totally disagree.

That said, my first initial reaction was "OOOOOOOOOO FFFFUUUUUUUUU............."

EXCELLENT Work there. Very nice my arse.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?
