ironsmith Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My youngest son Liam saw the new Hobbit movie a few weeks ago and asked if i could make a dragon for him. This is what i came up with. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ivan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I like that. Got any pictures from other angles? The candle rest is a really nice touch too. -Crazy Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Looks great, did he get a chance to see it red hot? The horns are nice, any tips on cutting them? I always end up with little stub horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
