There be dragons

E: part 2

Well I super forgot how much of a time sink this hobby was but we're getting there!

A lot of my time was spent messing with milliput and greenstuff which I hadnt used before on another model which I'll post soon.

Anyways,

I started off by gluing limbs and drilling holes to support connect the feet to the legs. I think in my youth I went a bit heavy with the super glue cause the connector bits snapped off.

With limbs attached, I filled the gaps, which there were plenty off, with milliput

I tried and failed several times to glue the head together but the shitty old metal bits were not taking so sticking together at all.

I ended up getting 2 part liquid epoxy and now there's no way that boy is shutting his mouth now. I also added some milliput along the spine so Imrik's saddle sits nicer. Parts really did not go together well on this model.

Jaws and horns attached I moved on to Imrik, who was also a pain and the ass to assemble.

More epoxy on his spear arm, torso and legs and Chad Dragonrider is good to go

I waited for a nice weekend, which is not a thing anymore where I live but finally once climate change had gone away I was able to prime everything with Tamiya fine surface primer

I think the details kept quite well, should come up nicely once painted

That's all folks until next time where I'll post my DnD demon prince conversion attempt :-D

Was going to ask if warhammer has dragons? I don't know. Then I remembered that I was thinking of warhammer 40k and that there are variations to this thematic universe. So, maybe a warhammer variant? Maybe you posted because this is the closest sub?

At any rate, neat stuff. While not my thing I have always appreciated the work people put into miniatures. It's creative and an act of artistic creation. It is in part, what sets us apart from some other races.

Kudos.

Yeah Warhammer fantasy has all the dragons and elves and other fantasy elements, think lord of the rings.

I'm more of a 40k dude but I had these models from like 20 years ago that I thought I'd tidy up and make into a diorama or something.

I will do a 40k one when I'm done with this.

Every man needs a hobby right.

Just thought I'd bring some life to the sub to. Might try claim it since owner/mod hasn't been around for 2 years
