Check Out One Fantastic Dragon From Greene Models!
September 12, 2014 by brennon
Check out this fantastic Dragon-come-Wyvern! It's a massive piece of resin and certainly looks like it would be a brilliant centerpiece for the battlefield. This is a kit made by Greene Models a company in the US and due to be painted up by a talented artist from Saru Minis called Armando Martjin...
As you can see it's a rather impressive model and is absolutely huge as you would imagine. It comes in fourteen parts and is made of high quality resin with practically perfect detail across the whole thing from what I can tell.
Above are some of the shots from Armando as he put together the piece and started the Herculean task of actually painting this beast. This is certainly a brilliant looking piece as we mentioned and hopefully the finished project is a painting masterpiece.
At the moment however if you're happy shelling out $389 then you can own your own Dragon and paint him in your colours of choice.
Some details of this story have been changed at the request of Warner Bros. That can only mean something awesome is on its way... 😉
What do you think?
*Nerdgasm*
want – going to weep
It looks good for a dragon, but the, in my opinion, shit movies kinda makes me not want to get it due to bad vibes association.
Agreed. That’s what happens when you try to make one book, and a kid’s bedtime story at that, into three movies.
Wow, now that’s what I call a dragon!
Golden! For sure!
Wow — that is a fantastic model kit! Soooo want…
Wow that’s what i call a wyvern. Seperate forearms from wings a dragon make.
Yep – Smaug did become a Wyvern but easier just to call it a Dragon 😉
BoW Ben
I see your point. It technically is a Wyvern mini, but it might just be the best Wyvern mini in the history of wargaming.
Agreed I got pretty disappointed when I saw it was a Wyvern instead of a proper dragon
That is a might impressive kit.
It is quite the kit, but all I can think is anytime you need to move it, you will be missing more and more spines, toes, teeth…
I have a dragon for the bar in the man cave that’s near that size (from the Excalibur in Vegas), but I think it might get dethroned one day.
Id tell you how amazing I think this but I might ‘drag-on’ a bit. 😉
lol. Go home, you’re drunk :-).
What a lovely worm…..screw buying the house, the kids can just bathe in the glow of Smaug.
Wonderful – I don’t care that it is smaller than truescale (scales – get it?) – it is big enough to make a 28mm mini shart its chainmail panties. I would like one of those. Great pose too.
It looks unstoppable but we’ll see how good it is at fighting GW litigation
The GW pen is mightier than the Dragon LOL

Wyvern vs dragon. Really? That tells me you lot have all played too much dungeons and dragons if that distinction truly matters.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a dragon. No matter that is has no extra set of arms. A wyvern is weaker than a dragon. This magnificent beast is not weaker.
Flame on.
They’re both mythical. You’re not really setting yourself above the crowd by arguing the point… although that seems to be your intent lol.
The term wyvern appeared as early as the 17th c., and referred to a “winged and two-footed dragon,” according to Hoad, T. F. (1993). English Etymology. Oxford: Oxford University Press. p. 546.
You say that as if it is a bad thing to play D&D. 😛
Complain as much as you will, but at least it is consistent with its naming, which is something I think is severely lacking in the miniature industry.
And they used so many of the names used in mythology instead of just haphazardly slapping on the name dragon.
When I search for a dragon I want to get roughly consistent results in shape.
Agreed. Gygax and company did their mythological homework and didn’t randomly ascribe names to things.
A rose by any other name and whatnot. You know what it really is? A toy.
Oh my, a fanatical collector of GW baubles calling this a toy? It’s amazing how objective you can be when it’s not a GW model 😉
