About the Project

Three years ago Gerry (@Avernos) gifted me the most wonderful D&D miniature red dragon ....... My favourite colour being turquoise we decided on the spot to paint in that colour. The plan for the dragon is to paint it and creat a diorama around it involving a giant and some wolves. This year at Salute I got the giant and wolves so it is about time i got back onto this project . I built it about three years ago and then painted it... but made the school boy error of taking it to work for an assembly and allowing children to touch it. That chipped the paint so needed to fix However it did result in several students becoming interested in paining. Then i changed my mind on the colours so I am afraid it is still a work in progress and my aim is to complete it this summer once we start the school holidays (3 more weeks) This Covid thing has meant very little time to paint but have made myself start it again so I will complete it

His wing were too heavy to be able to stay where they needed to with just superglue.  Therefore a little engineering was required.  Each wing had a hook inserted and interlinked in the void of the body.  Milliput was then used to further fill this game with the view to providing strnght for the wings in the long term... The wings were then glued with superglue and baking power . Why baking powder you  may ask...... well the reason is baking powder speeds up the setting of the superglue and fills any gaps..... therefore killing two birds with one stone......quite a useful trick to have up your sleeve.

Here we see his main body built.  However he has a very heavy tail that requires some moral support( in the from of a pin) to be able to stand proud as any self respecting Dragon needs to.Here we see his main body built.
