    Hi guys,

    This is my first “razordon” (old coldone) proxy

    I really like how it turned out. But will it even be better to drybrush it?

    Hmmmm IMO it needs some spikes to be really convincing as a Razordon.

    Colorwise.... Yeah a drybrush might make its scales look a bit less flat. I'd say go for it.

    Tried to greenstuff some spikes. Did not go as planned :p maybe in the future if i get more handy with it.

    Do you recommend any color for drybrushing?
    Doubting between white, grey of lighter green

    I think a lighter green would look best. White would be quite bold.

    For the spikes... Yeah not easy to do. I struggle with Green Stuff spikes as well.
    Maybe one of our expert modelers has some tips how to make that easier.

    When drybrushing always use the same colour but a lighter tone so drybrush green with green etc etc

    The model will look even better if you shade it as well.

    It does not need to be that difficult, all you need is to first make a tube of the green stuff, then cut it smaller than the desired spike length, then roll the piece into a cone shape.

    Then to fix it better to the model, I would cut a piece of a paper clip and put that inside the large end of the cone, and let it dry before drilling small holes in the model where I want the spikes to be.

    I'd drybrush a brighter green on the scales
