A long while back, George sent me his Dragon to draw.  After multiple attempts, I decided the paint needed removal if I was going to get the details done correctly.  I talked to George and he gave me permission to remove the paint so I can properly study the piece to mock it up for drawing.  I will also fix the missing part on the bottom for the switch.

The paint was covering up a lot of the details.

Any plans to mock up the spring suspension bracket also?

If I have good pictures of it, I can do it.

I'm hoping someone has one to measure/share specs, but here are some pics that I had saved...

Hi Jeff! The tougher on all the dragons were red originally!

Hey, George, were the eyes colored too?  I saw on some of Chad's restores, both the tongue and eyes were red.

I've only seen red tougnes... I have not seen many of them...

Your making a dragon?

Hey George...your Fort Wayne dragon is next....I think I'll digitally sculpt the body and head to give it more details.  Once the paint is removed, you see a lot of the details that  was covered up.  I'll need to brain storm on this a bit.

I admire and appreciate much of what you do, but any lost wax foundry would tackle this with ease and grace. No headaches for you! 😉

I'm trying to move away from away from this and look ahead down the road.  Parts will always be missing and need a reliable way to make them consistently on demand.  Besides, I like the challenge and it helps me during my downtime from work.
