This was one of my first attempts at using a plinth, I am glad I did! Now I can make all kinds of display pieces.

Well done on Abby!

60114 Viorian Dekanti. Played around with trying to make the shield look a little scuffed up and added some colors into the gold.

I didnt realize there was such a thing! I guess I should explore the forum some more! Thanks! For a $50 model its quite a good one. Don't be afraid to jump on a model if its one that you really enjoy. Also, thanks!

That is right, all the scales I did I tried to do directional brushstrokes to show some texture on the scales. I did lines on the big scales and on the skin on the legs I did dots. Thanks! I was very anxious / almost scared of doing that effect cause it was so bright but glad I did, it made the model pop a little Also, thanks for the comments of support! It is greatly appreciated.

I did this over the past few weeks and first real attempt at making a showy base for a big model. I ended up using cork bark and some UV resin but I loved how it all turned out.

Thanks for the praise, its encouraging going forward to tackle bigger scarier dragons!

I do have an airbrush, I typically use it for mass basecoatings or in this case blending some large areas. I did do the yellow to orange with the air brush, which was nice but then I had to go in with the purple on the wings and do it without messing it up. It was a tedious process but pays off. Now if I were to do it with out an airbrush I would have went with a more textured look rather than smooth blends. Bulk of the time was highlighting all the scales but that is what makes the look work.

Thanks all! I hope to do more of things like this in the future.

This was a fun model and I was excited to do it. It has been sitting on the shelf for a while as it is a bit intimidating but I loved the final results!

Thanks all! Also if anyone sees a Harvey Birdman mini that isn't a former heroclix model let me know! I would totally do that. Its a shame there isnt a Space Ghost Coast to Coast cast in minis.

I had to do a lot of research as I didn't have a clue what angels did or looked like in RPG's. Actually still don't. I assume I made a decent go at it.

Thanks all! And as to the back of the shield, I always try to paint those if I can. If the shield comes separate in the kit I will always paint the back, it just seems like a skipped opportunity to add some creative details.

I know, not typical paladin colors, but that's okay. She is still ready to take care of some undead :D

Thanks for the feedback. I will try some more dulled down and less yellow, being the first jump I am all in for some ideas! Who knows, that may even change my taste! Sepia is a good idea, it has that red undertone... hmmmm
