This was an 18 dollar add on to the Bones 4 campaign, the rather massive Skeletal Dragon. And what an excellent specimen it is! I made a 230x110mm base for it on my 3D printer. It needed to be printed in two parts as it was far to large for my 140x140mm print bed. I glued ot together. gave it a once over with some sandpaper and stuck the bones base to it. How I painted it: Black undercoat with white ink zenithal sprayed on. After this was thoroughly dried out, I painted Citadel Skeleton Horde contrast (yes! Contrast paint! It works like a thicker ink or stain!) all over. When this was thoroughly dry, I drybrushed in varying degree with several bone-type colours, both yellowish and whiteish ending with Reaper Splintered Bone at the very tops. Details such as horns and claws in gloss black. Base in Vallejo Earth followed by some tufts and my autumnal flock mix, finised with black rims. A relatively fast method to do skeletons of all kinds. We can make our camp in this ancient shelter made from the bones of a beast long dead...yes, that will be very safe indeed.

Working on getting this guy's wings on o.O bit difficult. I had to run out and buy more metal paint, nothing was working well. Really hoping this holds. The wings come with kind of build in pins, but it's not really obvious how they go on, to me. So I had a gander at the gallery here. Have to keep that for reference! This is a little scene for my Wyrd Iron Painter round 2 entry, the theme is "Better off (Un)Dead". I'm calling it "Fetch". At first I thought I should have the undead dogs chasing a car... but I couldn't find enough car parts. So then I thought, they could be playing fetch with bones, that you wouldn't expect them to fetch! Then I thought, ah HA what if said bones are still attached?! lol Well, that's the thought anyway. I have to work out placement tho, I think I will have the two smaller dogs be trying to pull 'bones' off the Dragon, while the bigger one looks on nonchalantly. Good thing they're undead ;) If I can get enough time I'm going to stick the Dragon in a small treasure pile, but not sure. Still working it out. Suggestions are welcome!
