Orc Warboss on Wyvern
Happy New Year everyone! I didn't have a lot of hobby time in the last few months, but now during the holidays I managed to get some painting done. Fellow blogger Keith announced the Year of the Dragon challenge, which was a great opportunity to paint a model which I've owned for probably nearly 20 years - the Orc Warboss on Wyvern. The model has since been re-released in resin, but this is the original metal version, which means it weighs a lot and required some pinning and gap-filling during assembly. I didn't glue the Orc on top of the wyvern and used magnets instead. This makes it possible to use the wyvern without a rider and I may even create an alternate rider at some point (maybe a shaman?).
