Title: Chinese Dragon
Post by: whiffwaff on January 22, 2013, 03:56:50 PM

As Chinese New Year approaches in the next couple of weeks, I thought I'd pop together a Chinese Dancing Dragon costume.

Thought it could find a use in various Far East armies or in Pulp games. Remember, Ninjas are bad... men in cheap silk dragon costumes are even more dangerous...  :D

Just under 35 mm to the top of the head and 46mm long.

May need to make a band of drummers to go with him...

He's available to buy too if anyone is interested.

Cheers

Haha! This is wonderful.

 I really like it, do you think you would consider making some with clawed feet? A dragon costume hiding some horrible creature beneath?

I do love those shows. The best one I saw was at a Cambodian/Vietnamese wedding.

I have seen the dance many times at local shops and community events. Western Sydney... what can I say!

Anyway, great work on the sculpt.

Isnt that a lion? My mate used to do the lion dance with these things. Its a type of kung-fu, so the dancers can all kick arse.

Ace stuff as always Mr Whiff, so many possibilities, especially the idea of multiple parts to make a super long dragon/lion.....

Actually in lion dance there's only two chaps dancing/operating. But it would be great to see a dragon version as well. Hopefully the lion gets to be produced.
