Wait till the tail and wings are on. They could fight for sure.

Here's the body cut out now and the start of the necks

You could name him GOAT!

(For "Greatest Of All Time", of course!)

Lol while I love this, aren't we not supposed to name things we are not going to keep? Haha

The feet provide a useful reference for gauging just how big that beastie will be!

 

[DerezzedDragon]

Two bodies out now, three necks.

Got the tail cutouts done. Also showing the rotation.


Collections of the work so far.

Now for some closeups. They look like decks of cards haha but really though don't look too close at the boxes behind the curtain

I'm thinking of the amount of candy needed to fill this, Wow!

I was thinking of making a treasure chest or something inside it so that the candy wouldn't get stuck in the moving parts should they be added.

Although it's so big that if it's strong enough we could put plastic bottles of liquor in it haha

--did I mention this was for adults haha--

You could make it like Russian stacking dolls: inside the dragon is a treasure chest, inside the chest is something else, and inside that, and so on. Once you get through all the pinatas, there’s room for only one piece of candy. My Dad used to wrap Christmas presents that way.

When is the party? I'm there!

 

[DerezzedDragon]

The candy is a good point though -- here I was about to use sand to fill up the necks so they remained the right direction haha
Though my dad says I should attach the necks in the standing position and just make it eating a dead knight or something when they show up.

ROFL I like the way your dad thinks !

I made a lot of progress last night with the new boxes from work. I spent most of it cutting strips. Though I'll have to re work the back feet and I forgot to splay them out to have toes haha


I'm really proud of my method for getting the tail fill.
This is the bottom one where each of the lines match up. Next I'll do the top the same way.


Lastly I played with the neck to test out my weight theory. It didn't really work....

 

[Rebus]

This is looking incredible! It will be neat to see the finished product.

Coming together nicely! Did you say this was going to be for a Halloween party?

Thanks for the kind comments

It's for a surprise birthday party around Thanksgiving

 

[DerezzedDragon]

I should really be changing for all these feet pics lol jkjk

Got the tail done along with another leg and another neck. I did the tail different as instead of glue ing the whole seam I used a tab approach. I'll have to go back and add some tabs for where I only tacked it down as seen in the last picture. For the tail that also means I cut out the top piece of the tail using the same method as the bottom piece for measure draw cut.

 

[Namabiiru]

Very Arrrrrrrrr-tistic, as the pirates used to say.

At least your feet are suitable for photography. Mine, not so much.

 

[DerezzedDragon]

Did a little bit more glue ups but no pictures of progress today

 

[DerezzedDragon]

Got one foot left then I can get to thickening. Picked up a can of spray paint to help the crepe paper go farther.

Decided to leave the gaps as it's just going to be covered

Only problem is a put the dew claw on the same side. Any suggestions for cutting it off and swapping sides? I have a foam cutter thingy kit to get through the hot glue maybe but not sure if it would ruin it / how to clean it..
