This will easily be my biggest and toughest conversion project EVER, and will be taking place over the course of the next month. My goal is for the mounting pole to be hidden behind one of the wings as it makes a banking turn, and for the base to have a small ship (from one of the smaller scales) on it to provide altitude perspective. Small-scale Napoleonic infantry minis will provide a crew, and finally mount it all on a pole so that it appears to be flying over an ocean. I'm going to convert the standing dragon into a flying pose, adding full rope-and-chain rigging using parts intended for model ships. The dragon will be Excidium, for those who've read the books. The project is going to be a diorama of a dragon from Naomi Novik's Temeraire series, where dragons basically get turned into airborne frigates in the Napoleonic age. This allows me to finally begin a project I've been stewing over for, like, a year now. Major props to the crew working the counter at my local game store tonight they were able to dig up (from "The Basement") the last piece I needed for this project: one of the Reaper Dragons.
