Green Dragon of Melnibone
This is a photo essay for my model of a Green dragon of Melnibone.
There are links at the bottom of the page for the posts I made showing details of the steps I followed in painting the dragon.
I’ve had this dragon model for years. It was originally a blue dragon, then I decided to fit it in with an Elric of Melnibone theme for Hordes of the Things (HOTT), so I plonked an elf rider on its back. Unsurprisingly, I was never really happy with the result. So with the advent of De Bellis Fantaisae (DBF), I decided on a complete upgrade.
The model is meant to represent Elric’s cousin, Dyvim Slorm, so obviously he needed to be sitting on something more to his station! So, step one was to create a saddle for the rider out of Green Stuff. The photo shows some basic painting of the saddle and saddle cloth. I’ll return to this later.
The Elric stories mentions green skinned dragons so that had to be the next upgrade. This photo is at the same stage as the last. I’ve repainted the original blue scales black then applied a base coat of GW Caliban Green. I gave this a wash of GW Nuln Oil and then overpainted the scales with Caliban Green, leaving some areas of each scale the darker shade.
