Chinese Dragon
« 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

Adam

Haha! This is wonderful.

Will you make the possibility of extending it also?

 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.....
