Dragon Head "Glowasmoka"

I've printed this previously on the Up but never had time to do it on the Z until now. Scaled it up to about 180x180x180mm, printed in black ABS at 0.29mm layers, fast speed, "mesh" (which is really shell) mode, auto fan.

I finished it by dry-brushing all over with Gilder's Paste "African Bronze", then highlighted by dry-brushing with Rub n Buff "Grecian Gold". Finishing took about 5 minutes total. I'm really liking these wax-based finishes - they're easy and fast to do, you don't need a spray booth, they come in a truly vast color selection including wonderful metallics, and the colors can be blended nicely either before, during, or after application.
