Thank you all for your comments. I have enjoyed painting the dragons more than I expected to. Have I joined a cult??! Oh dear. Oh well. I am finding that I am using the Basius stamps for larger bases more and more. I am very glad tha my wife and I lashed out on them. Thank you. It really has got me thinking about colours and effects and having to rethink my painting style. I am enjoying the challenge more than I thought I would. Should I do a third? Hmmm.......

Gday All, Dragon II is now complete. Let me present "Stormwing", in Marine Teal, True Blue and Imperial Purple for a 3 star challenge. The final Show Off thread is here: The WIP thread is here:

And finally a Show Off thread. I hope you like the photos.

Gday all, Fianlly got around to posting the completion pics of Stormwing for the Random Rainbow Dragon Challenge. Primary colour: Marine Teal. Secondary colour; True Blue. Tertiary colour: Imperial Purple. 3 star level challenge. WIP thread is here; So I hope you enjoy the photos. Comments welcome.

Fantastic work and very cool. Three finished Random Rainbow Ebonwraths and all very different.

And finally, finished in time for the New Year ... Will get the good camera out and have a proper show off thread on Tuesday. In the meantime enjoy New Year's eve and may 2018 be a great a year for you all.

Looks great. Has that metallic sheen all over. Very well done.

I really like the water and how choppy it looks. May I ask what you used to coat the styrofoam with just before you painted it brown?

Thank you all for your kind comments. Solution of sorts to the problem of the dragons feet was I think found. First a pile of small rocks (model railroad ballast) was glued around the feet and a couple of other points of the base using PVA (white craft glue) followed by a layer of sand like material (fine ballast) and then a layer of green flock with each layer covering more of the base than the last. The results ... Didn't take any photos at each stage because I was thinking too much about how it was going to turn out rather than to record it. A couple of grass tuffs and I think we are done.

Still working on this ... slowly. Mounting the dragon onto the base left more of a rise than I was expecting. Have to do some filling.

Waste not, want not.

I want to know what was used for the "Trees".

Gadgetman! I declare thee EVIL! My wife wants one ....

Looking better? I am pretty much done on the dragon and you have all the fiddly stuff to go. I'm more from the Buglips painting school.

Copying is the sincerest form of flattery. It more the case that I am surprised that with somewhat different colour rolls and different styles/methods that the dragons are looking so similar.
