I have a Dragon on my workbench. He's ready for painting. However, there's a noticeable seam/bulge where his tail meets the body. So I would like to paint him in a style that won't make the flaw obvious. Otherwise, it would be convenient if he could be in Forest or Mountain colors. Your suggestions are welcome.  |

No chance of filing or sanding it away?
Either way green will work |

You can call him a constipated dragon, which makes her even more irritable. |

I would file, if possible, but if not, then combine colors in such a way as to "hide" it, darks and lights alternated? (I am not that good a painter.) |

A dark green or grey dorsal surface with a pale underbelly. That will make an unnatural thing seem natural. |

No chance of filing or sanding it away? If I file the bulge away, then I would have to resculpt the scales. That is way beyond my comfort zone. I did some Googling, and found a monitor lizard in dark gray with mottled white rings. That might work. Alternately, with some lizards the tail is a separate piece that fits inside the torso 'skin'. So I could sculpt a line after the bulge, make it look like the lip of the torso. |
