I know I've posted this before but I have never been satisfied with how it looked so I have been giving it a bit of a spring clean and it makes a change from painting cowboys.

It is meant to be a Harry Potter type figure on a broomstick flying past an angry dragon. As you can see from the pics the dragon was originally a yellow and green colouring and I have changed this to a red and orange colour which I think makes it look more dramatic. I have also changed the teeth. The tongue has been removed and I shall be making a better forked tongue this time.

The wizard figure has been changed dramatically as I have altered the legs from a sitting position to more of a lying down prone position so it will look like it is speeding past the dragon when in place. I used (appropriately enough) Dragon parts for the figure which I have built up with milliput. The blue colour is just a base colour at the moment. I have also changed the head which I was never happy with originally. The head is from Hornet and I built up the hair with milliput. I have a pair of photo-etched glasses to put in place eventually. I also changed the right arm making it straighter.

A broomstick has been fashioned out of a cocktail stick and trusty milliput and the figure has been drilled out through his left leg to accommodate a good sized length of paper clip wire. This will then be bent to shape and around it I will shape a milliput forked tongue which will then be placed in the mouth of the dragon. The effect I am hoping for is the wizard appearing to fly past just brushing the edge of one fork of the tongue.

This is still in the early stages and I have still got a lot of work to do here so it will be a while until I get it finished but hopefully it will look better when completed. Hope you like what I am doing so far.

Hey Jaz, i like the idea.
looking forward to the next steps.
