One of the most iconic models from when i first entered into the warhammer hobby has to be the classic gulrach the great drake, i remember this model from the pages of the 6th edition hoards of chaos book squeezed onto a 50 by50mm base, it was a surprise when i heard they where bringing the model back for old worlds, initially i expected it to be remastered in resin but when they officially announced the return of the model they stated that it would be returning in its original metal,
I knew that this model would be a challenge, it was always one of gws most over ambitious models, i ended up spending two days simply prepping and assembling the model in full, starting with cleaning up flash and washing it.
the most time consuming part of this whole process is the drilling and pinning, the weight of much of the model requires you to drill and pin simply to stick it together let alone keep it together.
several parts required the mini to be left in one position to get it to set properly,
i used green stuff to fill much of the gaps
is used some miliput to blend the model into the base
once the model was fully assembled i primed the model with a gray spray
using an airbrush i was able to achieve a nice split colour for the two sides of gulrach
i then picked out the details, i wanted the horns to stand out so i went for a more striking orange colour than a typical bone, i picked out boils in pink and tentacles in lilac
i am very happy with the end result there's a lot of highlight colours i could pick out in the future but i feel hes at a table ready state.
