looks good, quick question? have you put some metal support beams? this piece of yours looks really fragile. i wouldn't suggest picking it up at times if you didn't. great work though

Hello patient readers,
unfortunately it's been a while since I last posted. Glad you're still around
September had many issues and problems in its luggage. Lots of trouble at work, some private stuff and my shoulder still acting up. And this saw me getting burned out with the ATHENA.
Actually with all of the hobby (again some of you may rightfully say).
Everything is packed away, the ATHENA safely on her shelf, the paints in their box, and the bits neatly sorted. The desk is empty and deserted and the cleaning lady finally had a chance for some serious cleaning action in my "office".
But as arts classes started back up I begin to feel the "itch" again.
And you all know that there is one special person for which I always do neglect my nickname and become Santa
So this year I will create a small dragon for the garden as Karin's Christmas gift.
A funny dragon.
Smiling, making a face, sticking his tongue out.
I started with a wire frame, added some Pappmachéand then finally began to sculpt, using "Fimo Air".
That stuff is pretty neat. Easy to work with, can be smoothed and deluded with water, dries rather fast, and feels like clay.
Here is my "little orange garden dragon" - maybe one of you can provide me a nice Latin nomenclature?
I still need to finish the front paws.
"Huge" wings
Seems he finds plenty of food in the garden, at least his waistline appears a bit "soft"
Face close-up
And the obligatory WH40K content.
Funny Titan you say?
Next I will paint him orange, maybe with some reddish pattern and a brown base - this way he will stick out in the garden (hopefully).
Well, this is all I have.
Hopefully this will now re-spark my hobby itch (especially when I start painting the little guy) and we can see ATHENA back on my desk early next year.
Fingers crossed.
I thank you all for your patience and sticking with me.
I wish you all a happy holiday season, MERRY CHRISTMAS, Frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr.
Cheers and ALL THE BEST for you!
Klaus

I've haven't been on SMA for over 2 months now and i come back to be greeted by this. this is so amazing. i need some scratch building lessons from you, so my project can get of it's feet (haven't started yet(life is getting in the way) )and turn out just as well as your beautiful creation
