Reply To: [unofficial weekender] Paint all the things 2022

And so it begins. Paintathon 2022.

But not with painting. I assembles yet another mini. It’s the “Adult Red Dragon” from the “D&D Collector’s series” that was part of a bundle of stuff. Some may remember why this rather expensive “mini” was in the box: it’s missing it’s wings.

At first I thought I would “simply” buy some other cheap dragon toy and swap wings. But i couldn’t find anything big or cheap enough. Now I’ve decided to simply build “as is” and putty the shit out of the missing bits.

Oh boy what a can oaf worms this already is. The resin parts don’t fit well besides the head. Which is a relief as the head has the most details. I’ll be doing A LOT of filling on this one before I can even think about painting.

Next step I’m pondering about: should I do a simple base coat now to make gaps more visible or just go to town with filler and then prime and work on anything that pops up later?

How is your weekend so far? Enjoy the silence!
