Smaug bust

[marker2037]

Yea indeed. I think I'm going for the wall display as well. That will be something totally unique to my display.

Here's some more NYCC pics of Smaug courtesy of JediJanine on the weta forum. Hope she doesn't mind me posting them here, but they are the best pics I've seen yet.

In those pics he looks very orange.. is he suppose to look like that or is it because of the lights?

 

[marker2037]

My guess is it's the lights/camera mainly. Look at the full body Smaug. He also looks very orange.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Nuts. I think he's too long, snout-to-back, to fit into a Detolf. With so many delicate spines and crevices, I really want to keep as much dust off of him as possible. Gonna have to rethink the display options ...

I can't believe I've already gotten a shipping notice for this piece! Wasn't expecting it for months...

 

[Pork Chop Express]

That is fast, you'll have to let us know how it turns out.

Mine arrives Monday. So excited!

 

[SurlyJ]

Came out sooooooooooo good! Detail and paint is nuts. Only complaint is I want it bigger to go with my sideshow reign of fire bust but this piece is so worth it. I used my weta bucks on it so it cost like $170 total.

This is a great looking bust.

 

[Danielson]

Man, this bust turned out very Nice! Looks like I will be getting one.

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Looks good. MT is my priority, after I get that and defending what's on Wetas horizon I'll consider getting this.

 

[SurlyJ]

Can't wait to move and hang it on a wall.

Wow I can't believe this is out already. Damn, I need to order this soon.

 

[Jrobertson]

I am thinking this might be my next piece.

Can't believe the detail on this thing ...I love it.
