This was an 18 dollar add on to the Bones 4 campaign, the rather massive Skeletal Dragon.
I made a 230x110mm base for it on my 3D printer. It needed to be printed in two parts as it was far to large for my 140x140mm print bed. I glued ot together. gave it a once over with some sandpaper and stuck the bones base to it.
How I painted it:
Black undercoat with white ink zenithal sprayed on. After this was thoroughly dried out, I painted Citadel Skeleton Horde contrast (yes! Contrast paint! It works like a thicker ink or stain!) all over.
When this was thoroughly dry, I drybrushed in varying degree with several bone-type colours, both yellowish and whiteish ending with Reaper Splintered Bone at the very tops.
Details such as horns and claws in gloss black.
Base in Vallejo Earth followed by some tufts and my autumnal flock mix, finised with black rims.
A relatively fast method to do skeletons of all kinds.
We can make our camp in this ancient shelter made from the bones of a beast long dead…yes, that will be very safe indeed.

Great base. Any chance you’d share the stl. I am painting my skeleton dragon right now. Few more hours of work and she will be done sans base. Thanks
Hello, and thank you. Sure I am happy to share. You can find the stl here:
