Building the Biggest Dragon Diorama 21 Days of Polymer Clay Sculpting

How's it going everyone, welcome back to wAw Creator. This time I bring you the biggest super model I have ever made In particular, I will create a resin sea with a super large size. I created the Beak Island and the epic battle of Hiccup and Toothless.Facing Bewilderbeast to become the king of dragons. With a model length of up to 50 inches, width of 23 inches, and depth of 8 inches. With this volume, the amount of resin needed will be a huge number. How many pounds of resin do you think I will use? 440 pounds? Oh no, that would explode. So let's watch the entire video to see how I handle this large amount of resin To start making the main character, Bewilderbeast, I used a foam block model to cut and create the core of the main body. Use silver foil to wrap the foam part. You were wondering what that white clay-like piece is, right? That's cheap polymer clay I use to fill the inside to save costs. For the outer shell I use premium Super Sculpey clay to make detailing easier. I will first position the area of the legs and head of Bewilderbeast. Attach them together with small pieces of clay. Use a carving tool to sculpt the inner jaw. Attach the tongue and create gums to be able to attach teeth to it. Bewilderbeast is a dragon species with small interlocking teeth like a shark's jaw. Use two tools to create the muzzle of Bewilderbeast. To make its eyes, I used a pen with a silicone tip I created a roller on top with a sculpted surface resembling its skin texture. The remaining step is to roll the surface areas evenly with gentle or strong pressure, depending on the desired expression. With the special sculpting Bewilderbeast possesses two pairs of tusks similar to elephant tusks which are effective in close combat There are many sharp spikes on its head Since this is a dragon owned by Drago I will make two chains for it. And a plate armor for its tusks. I continue to use cheap polymer clay to sculpt muscle blocks for it Use a stainless steel sculpting tool to blend the clay edges together. I spray a bit of adhesive spray on the surface I spray a bit of adhesive spray on the surface before applying a layer of Super Sculpey clay for better adhesion. Continue using detailing tools to create skin textures. The back of Bewilderbeast has many ridges I use a round-tipped tool to create small grooves and then use a texture tool to roll on top. Baking the clay at the appropriate temperature give it a suitable hardness to attach steel rods as wing bones for Bewilderbeast The steel rods are slightly curved and gradually shorten towards the tail. Apply a thin layer of clay on the surface. Add more clay to create veins and to bond the steel rods Use a carving tool to even out the wing veins and depict skin details. make some rips and add spikes to complete the Bewilderbeast's wings As an underwater dragon, swimming fins are indispensable I'll take them apart and then attach them to its 4 legs thêm một chút đất sét để gắn hai phần lại với nhau a long tail will be attached with glue Apply super scupey clay and shave to shape the tail continue using the tool to make skin effects a long fin extending from the thigh to the tail is the perfect detail to capture the great power of the Bewilderbeast chain extension, these are the two chains that will be attached to Drago's boat Let's paint the great Bewilderbeast I will use a layer of gray primer to cover the clay surface making the following layers easier to apply Bewilderbeast's main color will be brown but I'm going to use a layer of golden brown for the background use a darker brown color to draw the block Add emerald green to depict the details of the submerged skin when Bewilderbeast spews ice. Use gloss varnish to protect the colored paint layer. Next, I will use foam models to create Beak Island. In this experiment, I used a geological part printed by the 3D printer Ender 5s1. Sincere thanks to Creality, the brand specializing in providing high-quality 3D printing equipment for accompanying the How To Train Your Dragon project. The Ender 5s1 3D printer is simple and convenient to operate. It operates smoothly, with high precision and material-saving suitable for all needs. This is my first time using a filament 3D printer, so I didn't use it entirely for the entire model But with this experience I believe the Ender 5s1 3D printer can fully meet the requirements. Continuing to work on the foam details I use a heated knife to carve out a cave. This is the baseplate of the model I heat-carve it to create a better surface for gypsum powder. I use gypsum powder to create the geological structure for the seabed. Apply a thin layer of diluted gypsum powder to create the surface Add layers to create a rough and uneven effect for a more natural-looking seabed. Mix a bit of gray to create rocky cliffs then use an iron brush to create scratches on the surface , resembling weathered rocks. Next, I mix gypsum powder with sawdust for the bricks giving them a flexible and easy-to-carve texture. Apply multiple thin layers to the island's surface and wait for the gypsum mixture to nearly dry before using various tools to create detailed effects. At the beginning of the video I mentioned the enormous size of this model. If I were to use resin entirely to create the water effect, it would be an impossible task. Therefore, I decided to paint and simulate the depth of the seabed, using different shades to depict the varying depths of the ocean. Proceed to add details to the island such as pathways, grassy areas, water streams, and rocky formations. Use diluted glue with alcohol to pour onto small rocks Once dry, they will be attached and adhered to the model. Use static grass to sprinkle over the painted glue areas on the model's surface. I use UV resin to create a small stream of water on the island. Mix a bit of epoxy resin to coat the entire geological surface of the seabed. Evenly coat the surface of the island, including the submerged area. I use two transparent mica sticks with a diameter of 1 cm to support Bewilderbeast and attach it in place. And here comes the surprise for all of you I did something crazy until I could complete the product and only then did I believe that my crazy idea was successful. To fill this space I use expanding foam. Remember to cover the entire model with plastic wrap to prevent it from sticking. I will only fill the surface of the mold with foam about 2cm thick. This will be the thickness of the epoxy resin layer that will create the water surface Apply a thin layer of silicone on the surface before pouring epoxy resin especially filling the gap between the dragon's body and the foam surface This prevents the resin from flowing down and makes it easier to remove the foam underneath. Although it's only a thin 2cm layer it still requires 22 pounds of epoxy resin To achieve a consistent color I mix the color with the catalyst first, and then divide it into two parts for mixing with the resin. I will pour resin onto the dragon's body creating an effect as if it is emerging from the water's surface. When the resin is close to a stable dry reaction I intend to shape the ocean waves. However... But when it dries completely it returns to a flat surface Therefore, I have to use a grinder to create the wave effect. I had a moment of impatience before completing the ocean waves so I decided to remove the mold and take the foam part out of the model. It looks like I'm cutting slices of cake Pay attention to the 4 corners The resin adhesive has bent down because the epoxy resin had not completely dried and stabilized I removed the foam part. It may seem calm, but I actually went through many ups and downs before I could install the 4 mica walls smoothly with the wave surface when it was distorted. Returning to the completion of the ocean wave surface I use UV resin and wave-creating material. To create a model with perfect small details I chose to use the Halot One Plus resin 3D printer produced by the Creality brand It is a new 3D printing technology product with a premium glass plate that can easily print incredibly detailed small objects. Exquisite design, easy installation and usage, creating an impressive workspace. Equipped with an LCD touch screen, intuitive operation, and convenience. wAw Creator sincerely thanks Creality for their partnership in the How To Train Your Dragon project. Cut small pieces to shape the arch of the roof. Glue the roof parts to the pre-shaped frames. I use chopsticks to create supports for the floor of the house Add small domes for windows. A small dragon-shaped roof ornament on the top of the house. Attach small flags around the entire house to add colors. I will paint a green base layer and then overlay it with emerald green to create a color-changing effect. Paint Viking patterns on the house roof. Finally, add vibrant red flags, symbolizing the fierce spirit of the Vikings. These final steps complete the model. Next, I will create a small village with houses and dragons living on the island. A small house will sit on top of a hill higher than the floating clouds A herd of white sheep is crossing a bridge over a stream A small zinc frame is directly attached to the mountain peak used to hang dragons and shape the small clouds in the sky. Use foam to sculpt an ice block formed when Bewilderbeast attacks the island, where Hiccup and Toothless will stand and counter-attack After applying silicone to the ice block I create a small mold and pour gypsum on top to shape the prototype. We now have a mold of the ice block. Next, I will mix epoxy resin to create the ice block. After the resin has dried, remove the silicone mold and we have an ice block made of resin. Apply a layer of UV resin adhesive and sprinkle quartz and on top to create a textured ice surface. Use cotton to attach to the previously made zinc frame, So, I have completed the How To Train Your Dragon artwork I am delighted to have done this, and I thank all of you for following me up to this moment.
