One of my all time favorite poems is by Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland:

Jabberwocky
From “Through the Looking Glass”  (1871)

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

The Bonesium material is really great for monsters!

Bonesium works really great with deep detailing!

But the bendy Bonesium is not so great for thinner parts that support a lot of weight…like legs…

Hence most of my Bones dragons and such are drooping all over the place! This one has actually been straightened and stood up!

Majestic Dragons bending over in the dust?? NO! This will not do! SCREAM at your Bones! This needs  \../ METAL! \../

This Jabberwock was all bowled over and in a sorry state before I inserted metal pins all the way up the leg from the base and again through the lower calf (the bit running parallell to the base). And the base itself needed some serious weighing down to keep from tipping over all the time. Good thing I had those old Heavy Metal shields from back in the day lying about.

I left it tilted to the side in this way on purpose as I think it helps to convey it’s rabid insanity.
