This weekend I managed to bang out a few miniatures, odds and ends I had lying around. This one in particular was overdue to be completed: a Reaper Miniatures Young Forest Dragon.
I picked this up for my wife awhile ago, do add to her growing dragon collection. He was smaller than the usual ones I paint, but no less detailed.

There were several color choices on the table for this fellow, but in the end I settled on a muted green color, similar to lichen or a forest moss.
- Vallejo NATO Green Primer
- Vallejo Model Air Black Green
- Vallejo Model Air Camo Green
- Vallejo Model Air Light Camo Green (just a light highlight)
- Reaper Master Series Camo Green for the lower scales. Highlighted with a mix of Camo Green and Vallejo Dead Flesh.
- Drybrushed Vallejo Model Color Gunship Green, Reaper Master Series Highland Moss and Pale Lichen
- Reaper Master Series Stained Ivory, Yellowed Bone, Creamy Ivory and Vallejo Model Color Ivory for the horns and teeth. Horns washed in Army Painter Soft Tone.
- Vallejo Old Brown Rose for the Tongue, with the whole mouth then washed GW Crimson Wash and GW Reikshade Flesh. Then highlighted with Ivory and Pink.
- Eyes received a black lining with Vallejo Model Color Light Yellow for the eye, followed by a dot of black.
Notice I do not use a lot of washes...especially an overall wash. The effect is usually ruinous to my airbrushing technique. Washes are only used in selected areas....very sparingly.
I mounted him on a 50mm square base. This lets him fit a number of small monster roles on the battlefield, or as a large unit filler to infantry on 25mm square bases. Perhaps a tamed monster?

He was not difficult at all to paint really, and makes a nice addition to my wife's brood.
