Ral Partha Amethyst Dragon

[madmike]

My lady wife painted this old Ral Partha Amethyst Dragon a few years ago. She added some Reaper treasure pieces and settled on "Magic of the Orb" for the name of the little vignette she created. I found the old but unopened blister pack in some D&D bits when cleaning out the gaming cupboard.





The dragon has been based on an old anniversary dome clock base and protected by the clear Perspex clock dome. Tiled floor is dolls house floor material.

Painted with Citadel Paints and some Vallejo paints (we had only just discovered Vallejo at that time) and a lot of time getting it "right". That included lots of filling and re-sculpting of those filled areas. She added a small amount of Vallejo "metalliser" into the final coats to add some subtle sparkle.

The runes in the spell book are hand written using a very fine point micron pen. Naturally the spider is an orange kneed tarantula.







Lorraine has been busy painting gaming miniatures of late for our D&D group (run by our son in law) and intends to take a short break after finishing her Eureka Cowbear vignette "Bearly High Noon".

Hope you like the pics.

Great work

Very nicely done!  Shading on the purple came out looking great.  Good idea on the doll house floor tile.

Beautiful work!

Nice paintjob and the sculpt is some classic high-fantasy whimsy.
