Once I saw this little guy I knew I was going to have to do something special for the base. Fortunately I had a few old Microarts woodland bases with logs on them that would make good flight stands. I imagine a young gold dragon flitting from stump to stump with joyful abandon, oblivious to the hunting party that stalks it.

The Dragon Hatchling sculpts are cute, but the Bones casts are terrible. Due to this I didn't try to clean them up well and just put them on new bases. Either way it is two more models off the bench and painted to an acceptable toy box level...and so what if I painted the geen one red and the black one green! btw I touched up the splotchy black base rims after I took this picture. Comments encouraged, Mike

Bones2 Hatchling Beauty Pageant June 2016 - August 31st 2016 1. Paint ONE of the FOUR dragon hatchlings: 77271: Dragon Hatchling Blue 77272: Dragon Hatchling Green 77273: Dragon Hatchling Black 77274: Dragon Hatchling Red 2. You don't have to paint them per the color description, paint them any color you like. The base should also be painted in some manner. The hatchlings came with the core set of Bones II so anyone who bought the core set from that should have them, or pick one up from your FLGS (Friendly Local Gaming Store) if you like! 3. Post your entry by midnight CST on August 31st, 2016. Only post photos in this thread, any questions/comments can be had in the discussion thread here. As many photos per figure as seems reasonable, please try to post per the forum rules on photo sizes. If you decide to paint all four hatchlings, please just pick one to enter here so it is simplified for voting, but you can link to your show-off post for your other ones if you like. 4. Check back September 1st or 2nd and we'll set up the voting. 5. Have fun! A beauty pageant is just to give you a chance to paint the same figure as a bunch of other like minded folks. Whether you are a true beginner or have been painting for years, whether you are a master, paint only for tabletop, or still have a lot to learn this is a great way to participate in a challenge and just have fun. Hope to see your beautiful entries, hit me up in the discussion thread for any questions! Thanks!

I couldn't decide which of the Dragon Hatchlings to do up for the Beauty Pagent Challenge....so I did all four, but then put them all on the same base. Really good practice for doing a display base w/ still having a playable single. Hard for me to keep in focus, still practicing photo shots, need to learn more - as just leaving on Macro-Auto. Setting doesn't always give the best look. C&C welcomed.
