Ral Partha Collectors Series- The Conflict

Close-up view

This is Ral Partha's RP 10-452 The Conflict. They made two versions, one with plastic wings and one that was all metal. I got the all-metal version. It was very difficult to assemble and once I had painted it, I came into the lounge one morning to find that the model had collapsed under its own weight and the tail of one dragon was sheared off. I had to completely rebuild the base to better support the models and salvage what I could of the damaged areas.

The original artwork had a white and black dragon fighting. But I wanted something a bit more colourful. So I chose two dragons from the A D & D setting that are natural enemies and who would be likely to fight each other. Therefore, I went with Blue and Brass which both inhabit desert environments. Blue dragons have lightning as their primary weapon so I used some wire to try and create the look of a lightning strike coming from his right hand. The Brass dragon is a fire subtype, so I have sculpted some flames where he has set the blue dragon on fire. I used metallic paints and inks to build up the colours.
