He's a much more fierce looking dragon than the GW one.
How are you going to do the gemstone armoured belly?
I was thinking either quite coarse sand glued on then painted, or maybe try crushing some small pieces of glass, both transparent and coloured, down to very small pieces, to get a jewelled effect. I have some coarse seaside sand which is very translucent and almost jewel-like, so maybe small dabs of green blue and red washes might work.
The coarse sand would probably be easier, but the glass might look better, if it works.
Something to ponder on, whilst I save up
