Paul B Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) Screamin' 1/15 Red Dragon of Krynn - Advanced Dungeons & Dragons vinyl kit. A friend of mine at work gave me this kit to build for him. Originally I had wanted to use it as a GB entry but He's due to leave before Christmas, so the time scale to complete the kit has been drastically reduced. It's a hollow cast vinyl kit that is no longer in production. The cast date on the kit says April 1992, I was just about to sit my GCSE's at the time The joints aren't perfect but should come out ok with a bit of filling :G Old kit box I'm useing fine white Milliput on the joints and will be topping it off with model filler, then re-froming the scales The bone's that form the ridge along the back all overlap, but at the neck and tail joints the two bones needed to be extended to creat the overlap. Wings to attach, leg & wing joints need filling and the detail restoring, then I can start painting :D I love Dragons, I really do love'em, it's about the only thing I ever drew when I was a youngling. One of the earliest films I can remember watching was Disney's Puff the Magic Dragon and then later the D&D spin off Flight of Dragons animated film. This is one kit I wish I was building for myself Edited December 8, 2007 by Paul B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 My good intentions of going to bed early came to naught as I stayed up into the wee hours attaching the wings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hmm.. looking good Paul. I've got a part built Godzilla 2000 vinyl kit tucked away somewhere, I might just restart it when I've cleared the workbench (lap tray) a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Oo. Godzilla - post some pics if you get round to it Filled all the joints and it's ready for priming... Thing only just fits! First coat of primer and I'm down one 180ml rattle can of Tamiya Fine Gray Primer After spraying this thing I'm going to need new filters in the booth & some more tins of primer. Once it's dried it'll be time to get the dremmel out and etch some details back into the joints, then one more coat of primer.

Mike Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 That looks like it'll be fun to paint! Nice to see your spray booth has seen some action I gave up with filters after a while on mine & just let the paint go through unimpeded. So far I've not had any problems, but you have to hoover out the dust every now & again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
