Anyone know what make this dragon/wyrm is?
« on: May 28, 2014, 03:28:39 PM »
I'm digging down through many layers of unpainted and semi-painted figures and have now reached the 1970s (I think). I haven't seen this dragon/wyrm for decades but something told me it was by Greenwood & Ball but the current owner of that range says "no".





Can anyone here id it? The Asgard Dwarves in the photo were in the same box so I've included them to give a size comparison.

Excellent knowledge there, DD. Since you gave me the heads-up, I've tried googling Leviathan Models to get some more background info on them because I've forgotten anything I knew about them. No luck so far.

I've decided to sell some stuff because of an imminent house-move and my first intention was to offer the Asgard Dwarves that were in the box. I didn't even know the dragon was in there.

Are they... yup, they're on the LMW.

Interesting model. I think I'd file the knees down a bit, but it's pretty nice looking.

Cheers Vermis, the WIKI was playing up earlier. I've posted most of what I can on there from old Military Modelling mags and a couple of the Sci Fi types. Yet another section full of gaps  :(

Yes - I'd found that on LMW but I was looking for something that told me more about the company - out of pure interest. Thanks for looking though - appreciated.
