This model has a lot of quite subtle scale work that made emulating it in Greenstuff very tricky, to the point I sent an email to Mr Nick Bibby requesting a detailed description of how he did it. I'm sure he's going to reply any day now. He's probably just busy.<br />Anyway, I used a combination of zenithal priming, washes and luck to realize the details on this monster - I'd sure like to see yours :DCaptain Crookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731334952415370890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581720650017971599.post-41219727655447244952016-03-25T12:01:04.993+00:002016-03-25T12:01:04.993+00:00DRAAAAGGGOOOOOOOOONNNNZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!

I always found the model amusing, even if it's not the most elegant sculpt ever made.<br /><br />I actually had trouble painting this model. I found a lack of detail to work with over most of the model.

The tail is the same as most of the big Bibby dragons as he reused them numerous times, and the legs are nice but somewhat awkwardly posed as well (constraint of the mould I guess). The head is just magnificent though, chock full of detail and character.
