Questions:

 

(hopefully my last regarding bases, ha ha)

 

Secret Weapon has oval 120mm bases vs regular 120 circle. Anyone ever use those or seen them in "action"? Just curious. I guess I'm so use to regular circle & square bases that a oval shaped one is throwing me off, but I do like the look of it, just not sure what it would look like under a mini.

 

thx

I started prepping mine and was going to put up a snap shot but I am not sure if we should start our own thread, post here or are you planning on starting a thread for everyone to post progress shots in?

 

I will need inspiration to paint up a dragon and look forward to seeing other peoples as well.

[Inarah 30198]

I was expecting folks to post here, or link here to their WIP thread or blog.

[Marsya 4861]

Thanks Inarah I'll have to get some photos up soon then.

Please start a WIP thread in the WIP area, you can always make it an Open thread and invite others to put their work up as well.

My Sophie witch is on a secret weapon 120 oval. Here's the link to my WIP for her http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46970-sophie-witch-wip/

I have unearthed Ebonwrath and will start looking at assembly tonight. As I was falling a asleep under the infuence of sweet, sweet cold medicine, a plan for the base sprung forth full clothed like Athena from Zeus' brow. Now I'm off to look at examples of swamp bases and alligators.

I'm in, too. I have (ahem) dozens of old metal dragons that need to be painted, so I'm not sure yet which one I will do. Possibly my Teronus, the Ultimate Dragon.

Are we allowed to volunteer Buglips' Takhismat? hehehehe

It is to be done this year. I would hold off on Takhismat. I'm thinking 2015 for that beeing done!

 

 

I'm not slow, I'm savouring.

I have a Teronus that I did as a red dragon, gotta be careful where the neck connects to the body , had some issues with the glue clumping up there, also lots of flash to get rid of.

[Inarah 30198]

I've chosen the silver dragon. http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/silver/latest/02539#detail/02539_w_2 So far it is out of the package and I have done preliminary cleanup and attached the tail and head.

I remember seeing Teronus for the first time more than 20 years ago, this Dragon is an awesome model. It's definitely a collector piece now. Along with the Great Spined Dragon from Citadel I think Teronus is one of the most memorable old school Dragon model I've ever seen.
