NOVA Open Charity Project: Completed

 

I give you the Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon.

Finished up the all the small details on this charity piece. Really happy with the final look and clean finish. Those of you that follow my other projects will notice those amazing Powered Play Gaming lights again! I wanted to use a different color, but the green is just one of the more powerful LEDs.

 The Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon

 A friend helped out with the wood work, major props there as that is not my forte.

 In this photo, you will see the wooden base removed. That is for easy game playability. The wooden frame is larger than the legal base size for this model. So, when you want to use it, you just lift it off and it is ready to go.

 

If you are going to the NOVA Open convention I hope you get the chance to see it in person and help out a great cause: The Wounded Warriors Effort.

NOVA Open Charity: The Dragon Rises

 Major progress has been posted up on this dragon. He is just knocking the sand out of his eyes after his nap. He was deathly tired.

 This vampire lord had a bone to pick with his lazy dragon.

 Maybe there were a lot of bones to pick with his zombie master.

 How many puns can we get....

 The point being, Game of Thrones doesn't have the only dragons.

 No guts, no glory.

 The remaining parts are some minor details; flocking and some resin to add gristle to the guts. That, "just rotted and guts spilled look" One of the last additions will be to add the game legal base. 150mm by 100mm!

The lights are installed of course, but we will save that show for the final model.

Nova Open Auction

Ground has officially been broken on a Charity Auction piece for the Washington DC area convention, the Nova Open. Being from the east coast I was surprised to have never heard of this event.

http://www.novaopen.com/

The piece is a custom creation and will be representing a vampire lord on zombie dragon from the GW fantasy line.

Here are some of the assembled materials. Amongst others of hirst arts blocks, foam, and plasticard. It will of course be on the 150mmx100mm base for the original model and will be a huge and stunning center piece for any army.

Just dry fit to see the size and complete model.

Powered Play lighting kit will be featured in the model as well.

The outriders are conversions from rangers of gondor with rohan infantry helms to give them the stock model look while also making them stand out.
