I've been following the progress of this dragon for a while now and while it's very impressive, I hate the head ^_^
This is what I find so fascinating about our hobby - the diverse opinions we have. You are not a fan of the head but it was the head that drew me to the model.
I was thinking of using that as a gaming piece and a fun painting piece until I saw the scale of it 5 or 6 pictures in. The scale literally (and I don't mean figuratively) made my jaw drop.

Currently painting 15mm's with an extremely large brush - one step away from dipping them in the pot.
I simply don't like it. I mean, I see that it is huge and a big project, but it simply looks unfinished (is it finished?)
now if someone told me: the wings are WIP, okay - BUT looking at all the "details", like the scales on the head/face, they look unrefined and rushed. like: i need to do a row of scales, lets take some rolled putty and slap it on, blend it in, check, now press in sharp sculpting tool, time after time, after.... k, row of scales done - no further detailing needed.
also with the spikey stuff coming out of his shoulder and some on the face...thats just slaps of putty, no detail.
From his posts on FB:
Still a WIP long in the making. I dont get to work on this much at all, but once in a while something little happens here and there...

I will post the completed pictures once I have finished this one up. It is still a Work In Progress at this point, all I need is time. I will post complete pictures when he is finished.
What I will say is this is the first dragon I have seen, other than maybe the pre-painted TSR upright red dragon (which I have), that has the bulk and musculature to actually do what it is supposed to do per fantasy writing. Most dragons are portrayed as almost feline and sleek in nature. This one has a degree of realism for me that I have not often seen. I also really like the head and the scaliness of it - which as I said earlier is just a great statement of the diverse opinions in our hobby.
Also, I would have to say that this is not that far off the size a 28-32mm scale I believe an ancient dragon should be!!
