You're making amazing progress. It's inspiring to us slower painters. Thanks! I'm glad it's an inspiration! Just a little bit every day. Day 89: Continued highlighting the yellow scales and lightened up the underbelly.

The previous owner glued the side horns on the wrong sides, so I had to snap them off, as they need to be reversed for the reins to fit correctly. Hopefully, once I finish all the repairs, it won't be too noticeable, but we'll see. As someone whose collection is mostly refurbished and salvaged used models, I can guarantee you that such details appear much bigger than they are to us when we're building and assembling models but will basically disappear once the job is finished. Can't wait to see this dragon done, it's looking really promising

Can't wait to see this dragon done, it's looking really promising I think you're probably right. Certainly at tabletop level it will be effectively invisible. Day 93: Drybrushed the wings membranes, layered the wing digits, and washed the claws on the wings.

Day 95: Brought the wings up to the same stage as the rest of the dragon, then basecoated the reins and washed the stone perch. Dry-fit or blu-tac'd the model together to get an idea of how the whole will look.
