i know two first names! liiiike...

Ricky Bobby

HELL YEAH!!!

One head Ricky (regular person name)

One head Bobby (regular person name)

BUT TOGETHER... They are an insane force of pure ass whoopin' awesome.

After much humming and harring I have decided to paint mine using an airbrush, still havent decided on colours though.

Wow congratulations! What an intimidating model!

Talkin to some other people at random and the naming of the dragon heads came up while i was reading previous posts. Someone totally said "Chuck" and "Norris"

Although before that came up someone said name the heads law and order...

Probably got chuck norris from the joke

Chuck norris is currently sueing NBC for illigal trade marketing names of his left and right leg. Law and Order

Or something like that lol

I've heard it.

This is a fine model, and I like it very much. When will we see paint on this beast?

Pretty soon hopefully... Going to finish up the rest of drilling/greenstuff work this weekend... However Im still trying out some paint schemes on other models... So a couple weeks hopefully

do you want the dragon to sit at your desk, or you going to sell it?

Lol Im keeping it. I dont think I could ever part with it O_o

Are you going to trim the thing under its feet?

or will the feet be buried in the rubles?

Probably trim it, then still be buried somewhat. Make it look like its feet is making mini crater things... if that make sense. Like big foot walking on the beach

Soooo I havent really been working on the model lately cause I zoned out about it. But I was reminded of the Legendary battle this upcomming saturday at my local GW so I get to work Extra hard this week to make it stand up rite and at least base it so i can use it in the battle... Wont have time to paint it but at least everyone will be able to see the building of it finally happen...

I Also finally picked up some of my WoC army today :O Will post pictures tomorow of the progress on Dragon... Actually green stuffed gaps in pinning holes so it actually stays together without my help :O I actually got the necks, arms, and both wings all on it at the same time without my support... Jaw almost dropped as i actually saw how it looked put together rite infront of meh...

Many Updates this week. Be prepared :O

that is epic.

Ok heres some current pictures of the dragon as well as some of my other WoC stuff... Someone messed up the settings on my camera so the pics are a bit funky. Tha giant spined chaos beast (big red things) is due for a repainting... I dont like it anymore as I painted that a year ago and its just baaaaad...

The dragons stands different from the forgeworld pictures due to imo bad casting (figures aye?) but I kind of like it... Its not some proper up right human aye? However due to this the wing on his right side in the pictures make him fall over so i had to hold it.... Other then that im really happy so far. Got to work more on it... I got some of the webbing on his feet removed but gonna finish that up today... Dont think Im going to have him on the rocks as I planned before... Its more too annoying to try and get them just right... I just got to finish the other stuff before I worry about that though. Any comments or suggestions?

Good luck painting.

You should to making a base using some cork board. it is very effective and can be painted to look like stones or rocks in a magma flow.... plus it is really cheap to buy

TRIPLE POST OMFG!!!

I'm confused *points at the base of the beast* why has it got 40K bits on it and you're comparing it to a WoC model? are they in the same army?

The Giant Spined Chaos beast was originally for my 40k CSM so thats why his base is like that. Ill probably end up just removing those and making it bits that can go both ways. Might as well do it since I plan on re painting it soon.

As for the dragon. I can now get both arms, necks, and the wings on at same time without too much movement from them. I have to drill holes for the base/feet/legs tonight so that he can stand on his own. Will post progress when I get home.

WOOHOO! Well besides me being more excited then a two year old finding waldo. I now have the Dragon on two feet with wings attatched :O :O :O <--- I know rite? thats what i thought. You might say "ummmm your still holding it" My answer is... You have a great eye for catching the odvious.

Anyhow, the only reason I still need to hold it is because that leg im holding is the only non pinned (brass rod = pinning? or is there a bigger word?) part of the model. It will also be the most tricky for im sure you can see in previous pictures. EVERY other part that needs pinning, theres a way to go strait in on both parts. For that lucky leg there is not. Therefor I get to go into it at an angle, as my lovely diagram shows. It shouldnt be too hard but its more intimidating then any other task thus far (well there was one arm actually that was uber pain).

The model is now pinned to his base so this is a major plus. If you havent noticed Ive decided against the giant rock thing he was to stand on... Too much work for meh not to mention The rocks were too perfect me thinks? Ah and while on the subject of basey like things. If you didnt notice the feet webbings are gone :O . I know know, how will he swim? Oh the horror. On the other hand while removing the webbing on feet one toe came off... Bet you cant guess which? If anyone does however they win a nice shiny nickel.

ON TO THE PICTURES!

EDIT: Just a little FF (fun fact mhmm) Me and mah friend measured today after someone spazzed about the 10" wing spam of the forgeworld bloodthirster... Hah... hah... This dragons Wing span is a wopping 17" O_o

Timing is everything...

As for the missing toe is it the inside right foot one that has a bit chopped of?

As for that brass rod dilema, I'm no expert but it sounds like a good idea.

Havent posted progress in a few days. been working somewhat hard at getting the model done and he is nearly there! Tommorows the last day I got to work on him and looks like its gonna be done except for greenstuffing gaps (since oddly enough that will be after I paint) but it now stand on its own with both wings *cheer*

As for the leg I was talking about with the rod inside being at an angle. I also said it shouldnt be too hard... Well it was by far the hardest task of this entire model thus far. I made the crucial mistake of drilling its ground holes before finishing the models pinning. So I had to try and keep it aligned on its proper stance on the base and still try to find the correct spots to trill in. And on top of that the hardest part id say was bending the rod at the proper angle... However I finally got it. Its not 100% even but it actually came out better then way it is. now theres a slightly bigger gap between the two parts but they are aligned so the green stuff fixin will be much easier.

When it is all good and dandy tomorrow I will post pics of it... FINALLY COMPLETE!

Oh and no. It wasnt on the right leg that the toe was missing.. Got me scared though.. where is there a bit chopped off O_o ?

Theres these areas of the toes where theres no skin, like something supposed to fit in.

Yup, thats what it is.

Ohhh. theres spiky bits that goes in those areas. I painted those seperate and will glue them on later. Had me scared there mate

Shoulda told us that

purple and green is an awesome combo for a dragon

IT IS COMPLETE!!!!!! Ok so I lied.. BUT It is constructionaly (???) complete... Besides greenstuff gaps, a missing tail (only cause I forgot to put it on when took pics) and no claws... Oh and t he heads... Actually on the heads Im thinking about glueing them right now cause it will brook so much more to the model and probably increase its cool looks by triple mhmm. However I think It will be much harder to reach the neck details by doing so... So I will most likely Pin them normally with industrial paper clips (dunno where industrial came from) and that will be that. As for the rest.... IT STANDS!!!!! WOOO Now I get to buy paints on saturday. I think Its going to be black outsides with green insides... Thoughts? Oh yeah... You want pictures I suppose?
