Snàrg

I was really keen to have a dragon featuring in The Saga of Bicca Biccasson games but have you seen the sizes, and the prices? Even a pre-painted plastic dragon from Smyths would be nearly £20, and it would take up a box in its own right! So, cue Internet searches for a possible cheaper alternative...

I found several options after numerous sessions, eventually finding Kingdom Games, an on line business specialists in 3D printing. As it happened they had a weekend sale on and offered free postage so I took the plunge and selected a style and pose that I liked to become Snàrg, the Frost/Ice Dragon. He duly arrived a couple of days later in a large box! Unpacking though lead to some initial disappointment I confess. I knew the choice I'd made of a young dragon meant he'd be smaller than the full sized ones, but not that much smaller! Still, he'd only been £6.95 so I set about enhancing his bulk by posing him on a rocky outcrop constructed from my Woodlands Scenics large rocks. Happy with the outcome he was duly washed, dried and undercoated ready for painting. Just five colours in all: the Foundry British Blue-Grey triad, Bright Red Light and Boneyard Mid Shade. I fixed the completed figure to the rocky outcrop with UHU Power adhesive and washed the surrounding texture with my go-to Country Maple, finally adding a few darker grass tuft and weeds. And here he is ~

It's right of course to remind ourselves that, "Though he be small, but yet he is fiercesome in combat!" As you can see for yourselves... and, he can fly ~

As with all of the figures some patches of 'snow' will be added in due course thanks to Phil having a job lot going spare. Mind, I've had enough of the real stuff these past few days!
