@TheLost, the first one is based on the artwork from Howard David Johnson and it depicts Brünhilde from Norse mythology. Crystella is right about the second one, it is Queen Medbh from the Táin Bó Cúailnge legend.

After doing some research and looking at Morland Studio's models again, I finally decided on a piece that REALLY appeals to me: The Grail Maiden.
I'm a HUGE fan of Bretonnia from Warhammer Fantasy, and this model basically represents the Lady of the Lake, Bretonnia's patron goddess. So this is my official pick (after changing my mind a thousand times). Plus, I've never painted a bust or model that is 1:10 scale... I'm assuming it's kinda big.

yes, it will be bigger then you think. I work in 1/7 or 1/8 scale all the time, and they measure roughly 10 inches tall or so. At 1/10 scale, I'm guessing it'll be 6 or 7 inches tall. The larger surfaces require a bit of a different skill set then minis however. "Smooth and subtle" count for far more then the "forced contrast" that you are used to working with does. Oh,.. and prepwork,.. DO NOT SKIP ON THE PREPWORK!!!,... be sure to take care of any mould-lines, pitts, gaps, or other imperfections up front. Because if you don't, they WILL show up in the final product.
Just my two cents,...

I've decided on the forgeworld Warpfire dragon I've needed a reason to paint this for a while .
I ordered both C'tan in case there's a problem with one 
Weird I was looking a dragons today to chose my next one and I noticed that it is a variation of the one I am doing now "Dark Elf dragon" it's the same wings and same body I think, that changes the head and some else, the Imperial dragon is the one I am gonna go for next time I decide paint a dragon.

Ahh crap that's a big model... I didn't think it would be that big for $35... well, maybe I can practice my airbrush "skills" with this project. Damage to the wallet has been done, so better make the best of it. Thanks for the advice too!

Ugh. I just went through one of those months while painting for the NOCF. I sympathize. Try for the next one

DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM!!!! He paints high quality minis at breakneck speeds alreadyprimed?

If anything he should have some kind of handicap like painting with his off hand
