Post a zag...
I painted my contest zag here. I had never used vcolor or an airbrush before, and I was kinda worried starting out, but half way through I got the hang of it and now i can't wait to do some more! anyways, here's some pics i took.

I'm naming him Sciddles, the Candy-Coated Zagoran...

outstanding color choice. My one recommendation is to paint the eye and teeth though.

it makes me think of those little metal framed things we had as kids where you drop the different colored plastic pellets inside then melt them in the oven

they made the multi colored things the sun shined through when you hung them in the window

and i would paint the eye

Looking great. Will look even better with eyes, teeth and claws painted. Reminds me of Kiyoka's Zag:

Reminds me of Hawaiin Shave Ice. The unpainted eye also lends itself to that effect.

Great job on your first Zag.
Paint up the eye and teeth.
Should finish it up very nicely.

beautiful! I'd buy that for a dollar (or, like, one hundred of them). But definitely paint the eyeball and teeth.
