Many thanks to all who have viewed my last post, and the comments, particularly as many of you are so engrossed trawling through the new TOW rule books.
This wasn’t meant to be the Discworld dragon when I started the build, it was, as mentioned above, just that no one had managed to keep it glued together for any length of time during the past 36 years. I did wonder if it was cursed.
When I mentioned to the Store that it might take me 36 years to paint it at the rate I go they couldn’t guarantee to hold a competition then, a pity as the Chinese zodiac sign for 2060 is a White Metal Dragon which would have saved me having to paint it anyway.
The dragon is designed to be standing on all 4 legs but during a previous build a leg had been cut in an attempt to make it stand upright. I continued with this idea when making repairs to the leg but the tail angle was wrong, and not easy to correct, resulting in the need for it to be standing above ground level. Once I’d decided this should be a burnt out house rather a rock the Discworld elements were thought about.
Other than the stance, and a new tip for the tail, this, unusually for me, is unconverted. There are few WiP pictures as this was a quick job, 20 days start to finish; I normally struggle to finish a single figure for the GW Store’s Miniature of the Month Painting Competitions.
This is now the real end of the City Watch project, I’ve no intention of rebasing this figure onto one of my rectangular cobblestone ones and the diorama of Nobby and Colon at the City Gates with 1001 Elephants is just a pipe dream, although I do have a spare Mumakil somewhere!
