anybody got any idea how much these generally go for and any that are up for sale at the moment?  how big are they?

Perv

boxed and mint I'd say 70-80 quid.  loose around 55-65.  No idea of size though as I dont own one  :icon_scratch:

I'd say they're around 7-8" length and about the same across the wings. I have one that's supposed to be getting sold on eBay but I may have to sideline it into my own collection. Still the best dragon Citadel ever made, by a looooong way, IMHO. I'll try and photograph mine this week with another mini for scale...

Some arsehole managed to drop mine and one of the wings bent near the root/base. Consequently I can't stick that wing on without it going through the floor and I can't straighten it :(!

They're right about it being 7-8" long and the wings being almost the same. I can take a photo of mine put next to something for reference (like a ruler or something) but I need to negotiate camera access and good weather too 'though.

Here's the pictures:

It's this big!!!!!!!!!!!!

Box & giant included for the purpose of comparisson.







And here's the bent wing (note the bend down near the shoulder joint).

Balgin what did you use to make the membrane for your wing?

Old metal toothpaste tubes smoothed flat with a spoon. Then I glued the paper templates to them with a pasty yellow glue (can't remember as it was nearly 20 years ago :p). Then we drew outlines around the templates, enlarging them to bend the membranes more.

Then I cut them out with scissors and we tried to glue them in place (relatively successfuly).

So I'm annoyed that the actual metal part of the wing has been bent at a really thick and really hard to straighten point :(.

You know, GS didn't exist back then and the thought of doing it with epoxy modelling putty didn't bear thinking about :p.

Yeah I know what you mean. Yours was a good improvisation though.

I was just ehading into my teens and my father's a very cunning clever man. He even taught himself how to edit webpages by trial and error and made his own website about his musical carreer!
