I think its fair to say this dragon caused me a fair bit of grief, it's really a love hate relationship.
It took a fair few hours to assemble, including pinning all of the main parts, and greenstuffing lots of gaps,and then about 30 hours to paint over 4 days (work out the hours) the paintjob at first seemed quite simple but the more and more i did the longer it seemed to take, i think it looks good enough, except for the new sculpted sprites (which messes up the whole colour theory that has gone into the model).
The base is a simple block of pink foam covered in plaster, with 2 large copper rods going from underneath the base to the dragons feet for support.
The pictures don't really do it justice, especially the wings which i was particularly pleased with.
