I loved this vid! Thanks for the tips. You gained a subscriber.

Thanks for the sub!

[@GamerAddictFrank]

WOW - You rocked that paint job. Been going back and watching some of your older videos, and holy crap, you did a great job on this one.

[@HobbyNight]

Thank you! I was pretty pleased with how that Dragon turned out! And it was a fun mini to paint too!

[@leonardopaiva2010]

very beautiful, and the application of the paint was done in a way that seems feasible for a beginner like me to try

[@HobbyNight]

You can do it!

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

Heeeeyy Angela!!! daaaamn i have the ancient red dragon myself ...excellent paintjob...you gave me a nice tip with the purple

[@HobbyNight]

Glad I could help!

[@DevinBellROCKS]

I hope you named your dragon Mustafar….because he IS the high ground lol.

[@outofthisworldmodelsandmin898]

That really looks good! Love the base of purple rather than using it as a shade!

[@HobbyNight]

Thanks!

[@anonymussicarius8899]

Very informative video as always. The dragon looks incredible good! :)
Also, will you make a video showing some of the send-in dragons?

[@HobbyNight]

Oh, I hadn't thought of doing that... If I don't, there's a solid chance Games of Berkeley will.

[@ArchChronarch]

Awesome job, never occured to me that you could use a purple base to enrich the red layer.

[@HobbyNight]

It was something that I had remembered hearing about and wanted to give it a try with this miniature. I am glad it work how I had hoped that it would!! ^_^

[@willieduwe1]

Really amazing very easy to follow thank you

[@HobbyNight]

You are very welcome!

[@D7Origin]

Gonna use this tutorial to paint the chonky version.

[@HobbyNight]

That will be awesome!

[@MrBizteck]

My only criticism (minor) is if you could rotate the entire model between stages so we can get a good look at all the sides.

[@GamersOnGames]

Good video. The purple never occured to me. Think you could do a "glossy black" tutorial? I have Venom for MCP I gotta do

[@HobbyNight]

Honestly the easiest thing I would suggest for achieving a glossy black finish would be to either use a glossy shade (nuln oil for example has a 'gloss' version, I've never used it, I think Nuln Oil is a bit glossy sometimes already) or brush on a gloss varnish, if you don't simply use a gloss spray varnish over the entire thing instead.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Wizkids minis are really nicely done, for the most part, but for myself? Those mold lines are an absolute PITB to get rid of, and I think the primer is a little too heavily laid on at times, which means some fine details can get done away with. Otherwise, they're not bad at all--I've got a blue dragon and a black dragon in my drawers of shame, and eventually I'll get on those with the airbrush.

[@0IDaveCouch]

Beautiful! Really lovely job 😊👍🏻

[@HobbyNight]

Thank you!

[@MrBizteck]

Finished him looks epic ! .... now just the base to go Im going to stick him on a molten ledge I think.

[@HobbyNight]

That's awesome news! If you are on Instagram and ever share photos of it, I would love it if you'd tag me ( @hobby_night ) so I could see! 💜

[@hughragsdale7351]

👍

[@PoisonDarkBlade]

Did.... did you just throw that miniature across the room?! Great paint job though.

[@HobbyNight]

While secured in it's packaging onto a couch off screen! Although to be fair, WizKid's miniatures are fairly...rubbery, so even out of the packaging I think it would take a single toss without breaking. Good stuff!

[@rebeccamongeau9079]

But how did you deal with how close the wings are at the base?

[@lutsurugi]

you did not paint the fireball???? :(

[@mangacomics1601]

3 hours? How quickly does gw paint dry?

[@HobbyNight]

It definitely did -not- take 3 hours thankfully. They dry about as quickly as any acrylic paint does, which is around 20-30 minutes on average.
Although when dry brushing, because not a lot additional moisture is added to the paint like normal, it can be faster than that.
