Most difficult model to assemble?

It is, because you basically have two rather heavy dragons balancing on two thin tails. The connecting areas are, the blue dragon's skull cast with the front right arm of the brass dragon, the blue dragon's left leg cast with the brass dragon's right. The brass dragon's front left arm, connects to the throat of the blue dragon. The brass rear left leg is supposed to fit into a depression on the chest of the blue dragon, which it did originally, but since repairing it, this leg snapped at the ankle and so has been repositioned on top of the blue dragon's rear right leg. The blue dragon's front right arm, which isn't connected, also snapped at the elbow.

I built up a support and sculpted it to look like clouds so that the weight is no longer balanced on just the tails, I used woodland scenics snow, mixed with ova glue over a milliput base, coloured with light ink washes. Then I painted the tile with washes of inks to try and give the impression of an aerial battle, high up in the sky.

Here is a link to how it looked before the last time it got damaged:http://www.kats-korner-uk.com/dragons_the_conflict.html

I did a scale model of the Cutty Sark in High school and it had full rigging. It was a massive 2 foot long ship and about a year later my brother tripped and fell on it crushing it to bits.
