New Zealand Airlines Hobbit theme

[Darwin]

Yahoo news has an article on a paint job on one of New Zealand Airlines Boeing 777-300s that features Smaug from the new Hobbit Film. Someone please put out this one, even if it's as a recolor of a different airplane type. The paintjob is just too cool not to immortalize in paper.

Any suggestions for a base aircraft? Maybe the Canon 777-300? Or is there a better model out there?

I think the Canon 777-300ER would be the best bet, but its copyrighted....
