wow! that looks really good! once its painted it'll be seamless.
That's much, much better than the armour.
Congratulations on some excellent work.

shit!!! thats bloody brilliant. fair play. well done
Many thanks, freakinacage. 
I'm coming to a bit of a dilemma: Making horns. The dragon has little horns here and there and I think it would be weird if his neck had none. My initial idea is to take some old Gundam sprues and "carve" the horns to more or less the desired sharpness then cut them off and glue them to the mini. The epoxyclay I'm using is a little too hard to make small shapes although I'll try that route too. Suggestions would be great.
Cheers!

Oh man I loved mage knights! I had so many, including the "Polar Ice Dragon" no idea what happened to them. Nice work so far!
Hello again folks,
I've made a little more progress on the horns. Seems like the old Gundam sprues did the trick. I sharpened one end with a hobby knife, then smoothed it with a bit of sandpaper, cut off a bit and glued it to the neck.
Here are a few pictures with the horns on the neck:
Methinks I'm ready to prime tomorrow morning.
Cheers!

This looks very good and I think you did a great job with the scales. You also gave me an idea as a sculptor to try using straws, thanks so much!
You're right about that, BPI. At the moment, the dragon is taking a quick bath. After she's dry, I'll prime her and post pics. Oh, I forgot to mention that this project is a commission.
Ah, what colors to use... Perhaps a dark, almost purple skin with bluish highlights for the scales and a kind of golden yellow color for the belly scales, spines and horns?
Cheers!

Hello everyone!
Here's a quick update on the dragon. Her spines and the large scales [scutes?] have been hit with a coat of GW Snakebite Leather. A bit of GW Chaos Black was mixed with the Snakebite Leather and thinned slightly so it could be painted into the deeper areas of the large scales. The body horns have been painted Chaos Black as well.
The legs aren't painted yet because I need something to hold on to while I paint her. Comments and criticisms are welcome.
