I put Haku in here to show just how big these guys are. Being four foot long you don't really get the sence of how big they are unless compared with something else. Although they are on the hood of my truck, they still look small to me haha. That's my original Haku dragon pictured with them. They are all made from the same pattern, which is still available for sell. Haku is a little beat up June's niece likes to get him down and play with him when she comes over.
I have your pattern as my niece bought it for me to make , done the body, cant find any 16mm wire here in the uk which is a pain , your dragons are fab will let you know how its going so far not to bad loved the pic of how to do feet was lovely and clear
Hmm, I wonder why you can't find any. Are there any hardware stores nearby? The kind I got is what they use for fencing wire. If came in a large spool but you should probably be able to get it in a smaller version. I'm glad its coming along nicely, hopefully the wire will be the only bump in the road :3
I cant find 16mm wire anywhere here in the uk , any idea what I can use instead I am making your dragon as my niece bought the pattern from you. Your dragons are fab
Thank you! They have an aluminum wire inside of them. One running from the head to tail, and one running across from foot to foot. It makes all my pieces posable! It really adds another element to the piece. Plus its a lot of fun posing them
what thickness? I have some wire, and I tried it once but the wire was too thin to make a difference. Also how do you make sure it doesn't poke through?
These have 16mm aluminum wire in them. On smaller things I use 18mm. I usually curl the tips so it wont poke out. If not I clip the edge flat so if it does poke out it wont hurt. For small things I don't curl it in case it breaks, so you can pull it out and fix it.
