This is my first custom. To be honest, i didn't even know this was a thing until i went online and descovered this site while researching this project. Therefore, i would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of the amazing contributors of this site. I have discovered an amazing new hobby with such a high bar to follow. Unfortunately, my recipes will not be so enlightened. I live in germany where finding action figures in my scale is difficult, and expensive. So forgive that part of my descriptions please.
I am, professionally, a writer. A year or so back i began writing a fantasy novel for my 8 year old nephew. Its been so much fun working on this with him, i thought a fun birthday gift would be action figures from the story we were putting together. I had no idea what i was doing in the beginning, and again, so much gratitude to all that i have learned in this community.
I'll say more in the next submission as to who this character is, but a quick explanation is that his name is alexander, eldest of the dragon brothers.
as far as how i made him, he's mostly from a couple of dinosaur's figures and a whole hell of a lot apoxie sculpt. The wings are scratch made from a bit of ugly translucent coat fabric i found in a flea market, and wire and paint and magnets. ( they helped keep them in the proper place.) Now, after thinding this community, i can see so many easier shortcuts. But oh well, i like 'em anyway.
again, thank you to all, and please feel free to write any comments and criticisms. I plan on making every character for the book now.
oh, and size-wise, nose to tail, he's about ten inches long.
