All you have to do is soak it in warm water and it will fit together nicely. and you can drill out under his feet and he'll come right off his base. Nice paint job.
“Always wear gloves.”
Proceeds to use knife without gloves.
It was a sad joke. I have 9 fingers now!
The black primer on the coins looked like charcoal! Very cool effect 👍 I will remember that.
The mouth at the end looked like you put an LED bulb inside the dragon. So very bright!
Well done on this dragon.
With all those issues with the paint separation the effects were out of this world.

Dear GM Atank, a very enjoyable and informative tutorial. Thank You. Wishing you & your family a very Happy Christmas & Happy New Year. Best Regards Johnny
Thank you! Many well wishes to you and your family as well!
Great video and descriptions.
I also had a bit of an issue getting the wings to fit in the slot. I ended up just wiggling it and eventually got the right angle for it to slide in.
Sorry it took me forever to reply to your comment! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one!
Especially loving the back scales!
Thanks for the feedback, and watching!
Very cool
I’ve not seen this painted before
I hadn't either. The guys in the FLGS just play with it unpainted..."but that's not how we do things here" ;)
I have a piece of clear plexiglass to flatten mats and makes all mats dry erase.
That's a really good idea lol. I ended up using a clothing iron to bake out the creases!
great video
Yeah, I struggle getting past the ugly faze sometimes too. You just have to muscle through and realize that it's gonna look better. You're not finished yet.
The problem you had painting the dragon was not the release agent. you had to much water or medium in the paint, this is causing it to act as a wash. if it was the release agent the primer would either peel off or wouldn’t dry. Often this happens if you have to much water in the sponge on your wet pallet, or you haven’t Shaken the pint very well, so the medium and pigment in the paint is separated causing the colour to separate on the model.
It's strange because I paint the same way all the time with shaking paint, wet pallet usage and Games Workshops paints consistently. But you may be right! thanks for commenting.
@@GMAtankSometimes if the undercoat is too heavy it becomes a little bit glossy and that in itself will stop the paint from adhering. Fantastic paint job nonthstheless.
Just put the wing pegs/notches in some boiling water and they slot right in. No need to chop the mini or your fingers up.
Sorry it took me forever to reply to your comment! I never considered that for this mini due to the harder than I was used to plastic- but thank you for sharing!
Hot water is all i did too. I think I saw it in video review for the product.
May have given you a lot of trouble but it turned out great!
Thank you! The wound healed just fine ;)
The wings for mine popped right in
I am really glad to hear that. I must have had a slight misprint with mine :)
On assembly, I just used some WD40 and managed to jam it in there with moderate force
I love this Dragon but I had to do a lot of trimming to get those wings to fit in well it was a pain.
Sorry it took me forever to reply to your comment! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one!
The airbrush could have really saved your misery through the long slog early on.
I have a love/love/hate/confuse? relationship with my airbrush.
I love when it works, and I love the results, but I hate when it gums up, and I get confused sometimes when it's GETTING gummed up and blast a big snot shot of paint on my detail work.
Oh well! Try and learn! :) thanks for commenting!
I had problems with the Wings as well.
Glad I wasn't the only one! ;D
What about the creeping Doom AKA dracolich?!
I'm working on a big project right now, but I picked up the HUGE BLACK unpainted mini to do Creeping Doom in the future just based on your feedback :D Thanks!
A Tank and Spank? 😂
But of course my friend. Please wait for sunders!
Could have avoided cutting yourself and all the extra work trimming the wings before assembly by just using some hot boiling water. Let the wings sit in the hot water for about a minute and then assemble them, they fit and lock in perfectly when the plastic is softened by the hot water, no cutting or trimming necessary.
I never considered boiling the wing, just due to how hard/thick the plastic was! I do that trick typically with the smaller mini's from Bones or even Nolzur's, but good to know all the same! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this comment. I came looking for advice on how to get those wings on and I dont trust myself enough to carve it.
I had to file the wings
she is beautiful I want her.
Thank you very much!
@@GMAtank would love to buy one 😂
