Not you Inke, drunk with paint isn't a good thing

but it could potentially produce an awesome colour scheme

my worst paintjobs/ ideas usually aren't alcohol fuelled...

no idea when i will paint the dragon. probably should go hunting for my airbrush and get some practice first (and possibly decide on a colour scheme).

Great!

But shouldn't I pay for shipping first?

Has anyone started painting yet? If not why not!

I have, its got a red base coat at the moment, I'm waiting for some new washes and stuff to come in before going any further though. I do have the wing colour blocked in too.

Woot I was fully paid up back in September last year! Should put me pretty far up the list.

Aaw c'mon, just one more push.

Can we slow down on the shipping Andy ?
I am going to have make good and paint the dammed thing soon !

agentmolar · « **Reply #1183 on:** July 27, 2011, 04:08:47 AM »

Do I need to get an email regarding shipping? I think I was number 8 at one stage right ( been a while since I've checked)

yxalitis · « **Reply #1184 on:** July 27, 2011, 05:38:47 AM »

Andy,
you should sell the design to Peter Jackson for use as Smaug!
That would net you a nice few thousand pounds, I'm sure.

peter.jackson@thehobbitmovie.co.nz*

It would almost certainly be better then whatever they are coming up with! (Shudders to think!)

*not a real email address

Giz a pic, you have no idea how much I want to see it not-green/grey/etc!

Twosoc · « **Reply #1190 on:** July 29, 2011, 11:28:27 AM »

ok, its not very impressive yet (the paint job that is) Bear with me and I'll get one done this afternoon.

Cait Sidhe · « **Reply #1191 on:** July 29, 2011, 02:07:01 PM »

The beast arrived yesterday!

I know you're probably sick to look at them Andy given the hassle you've went through to get them finished and out there but, man, you should rightfully be proud of that model. The sheer scale of it coupled with the detail and character of the piece is amazing. It isn't just the dragon either, even the base with the tree roots winding through the boulders is just fantastic and really adds to the whole thing.

Props to Ian as well for the amazing work on the casting. I've no idea how he even got that tail in the piece it's in and judging by the extra metal tail end included you guys didn't expect it to work either.

I do have a criticism though... hiding mint green dragon pieces in mint green packing peanuts!

Big Boris · « **Reply #1192 on:** July 29, 2011, 02:14:44 PM »

Yeah, I've re-cut that tail since then to save Ian the hassle of it. Future castings will have a three piece tail - two parts resin and the end in metal. I've included the metal tail end in the ones we've sent out so far in case people want to swap the resin end for it, it being a bit tougher when it comes to the old snaggy jumper sleeve trick.
(There's one dragon out there where I've done that for them as we only had a miscast resin tail to put in the box.)

Big Boris · « **Reply #1193 on:** July 29, 2011, 02:15:41 PM »

Ian's on holiday for the next week or two I think, so no more dragons for a short while!

atacam · « **Reply #1194 on:** July 29, 2011, 02:17:55 PM »

Not happy about that!

crack that Whip

Andy and get him back, nail the door shut anything, just get me dragon to me

Ajsalium · « **Reply #1195 on:** July 29, 2011, 02:48:10 PM »

When I've arrived at home after work, a BIG parcel was waiting for me ...

EDIT: I plan on doing that 'unboxing' thing next week. I'll take plenty of pics, and write a review, that will appear in my blog.

Bwaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!

At this rate it's going to be next Christmas before I get mine.

Enazel · « **Reply #1197 on:** July 29, 2011, 09:06:35 PM »

I get my dragon when I get it

. I waited a few years, a few more months isn't going to make that different.

caerban · « **Reply #1198 on:** July 29, 2011, 11:56:12 PM »

Iiiiiiiiiittt's heeeeeeeeeeere!

And it's even more awesome than I thought. Spent the evening prepping. Fits together really well except the tree stump which was a bit of a nightmare but got there in the end. Needs some hot and soapy and I'll start putting it together in all its minty fresh glory tomorrow.
