A showcase of my three Game of Thrones Dragon Egg Props. I made them as a birthday gift for a very good friend who's a big Game of Thrones Fan.

I tryed to made a realistic lifesize version from the 3 Dragon Eggs seen on the show, so i use a base of styrofoam eggs with 20 cm height. Its plus/minus 1 cm the size of the original props they used in the show.

I made the scales from craftfoam (here in germany its better known as Moosgummi) because its easier to cut with scissors. that was the most time consuming step during the whole production. Cutting out that much foam scales for the three eggs was an weeks works i made during watching TV. I glued the scales on the eggs with special styrofoam glue, because basic glue acts like acid against the styrofoam. I leave the bottom of the egg without scales and fill it with putty to fake the fossilization effect. I also use a little sponge and dab the scales a bit with putty for a chalkstone look.

Final Step was the coloring. I painted the eggs all black as base color. Afterwards added the colors Green (Rhaegal), Black (Drogon) and Gold/White (Viserion) with drybrush technique.

For the Birthday gift i also made a box were i woodburned the Targaryen symbol into the top of the box.

Its very time consuming, but the end-product is worth it, if you want a real size Dragon Egg for yourself. Depending were you buy craftfoam and styrofoam eggs a single egg has a cost factor of around 6 to 7 Euro. Compared to some resin replicas you can buy on ebay for up to 150 Euro (for a single egg) it is a real bargain.
