[Archive] THE Dragon

snowblizz:

Heresy Dragon. I got one. As they say “dragon or GTFO”.

Step 1. Admire all the pieces.



Step 2… ?

Dînadan:

Step 2: give it to me 'cause I missed the chance to buy one and you don’t really want it do you?

:stuck_out_tongue:

Bloodbeard:

Yodrin:

thought it might be the same as yours Zanko. What a beast!

Yodrin:

250??? Is that the price?

Dînadan:

Yodrin
Yeah but it's hand cast and I believe it has high standard quality control going by Heresy's FB page (he occasionally mentions how he has to do another casting for people's dragons due to fiddle bits like the spines snapping in the mold and on one or two occasions has recast the whole thing because he refuses to send it out with bad mold lines).

Sure, but still...

At that price it should move its self on the table;)

Grimstonefire:

Were you waiting 3 years etc for this? I heard that had the longest lead times ever for a model.

Something like that yes. He started sculpting late 2009 according to the letter he sent with the model. I've actually forgotten when I ordered, 2010 or 2011, it was in October I think, it was just before Andy raised the price on the beast and I knew I wanted it and couldn't pass on such a deal (basically almost half-price).

torn:

As far as I know, I may remember wrong, but pre order could be a old as 2008, and the whole thing was re sculpted at one point. I’m sure the original price was also closer to £100.

It is a very nice model but I don’t think I could have waited that long.

That is correct. Pre-order probably started at a point where it was around half-finished and would be shipped fairly quickly thereafter. Then stuff happened....
It's funny I literally cannot remember when I ordered it (well made a friend order it). Said friend surprised me middle of January with 2 mails, a text and a Facebook contact to tell me it was being shipped.

I paid £100 +shipping for it and I think my buddy chipped in with some extra for the poor starving artist. To a degree I almost feel bad for getting it so cheaply considering the issues, then again I waited a long time for it...

Also, Zanko, Dragon-brother fist bump!

snowblizz:

So the “correct answer” is, step 2. (Sub-)Sub-assemblies! And a bunch of filling.

Yodrin:

LF to seeing this one painted…for sure :wink:

Scar:

Amazing! :smiley:
