Eldar Dragonship

This Dragonship needed a lot of work to correct various mould imperfections and some casting issues. I magnetised the prow/keel weapon options, replaced one of the prow weapon options with one of my own design and updated the look of the solar sail.

Date: 2020 - present (work-in-progress)
Components: 1x Battlefleet Gothic Eldar Dragonship, brass rod, Green Stuff, neodymium magnets, transparent flying base (60mm diameter)

1. The component pieces of the Dragonship. The cast had several issues (being an eBay purchase, I suspect it may have been a recast of the original model).

I removed the small gems/blisters from the solar sail, preferring a totally smooth surface.

2. The Dragonship is nearly ready to be undercoated at this stage.

3. Starboard view of the Dragonship. Green Stuff was used in several places to fill in mould imperfections.

4. Green Stuff was used on the large oval section on the upper hull to give it a smoother finish.
