Just got my sorcerer boxset today, and yeah it really rocks! the paintwork for the series 4 dragons should exemplify this one. I painted the orb dark blue with a Pantone marker you can buy in the artshops in petaling street. Ii got mine from nanyang arts. I also repainted the orb stick and used hot water to straighten out the wings. Other than that the figure looks just great, unlike the poor komodo boxset.. sad.gif

thanks. it does help a lot having those markers. i'm considering acrylic paint which can do stuff the markers can't.

What do you mean by different scale?
As in size compared to the previous series?
Or as in the scales of the dragons?

Anyhow, Series 4 was a big disappointment to me, and have decided against continuing.
Don't like all those human appearences on the dragons anyway. And the Fire Clan boxset, that is dumb.

haha sweat.gif

scale as in 1/6th scale, 1/18 scale, 1/48 scale, 1/144 scale etc...

series 5 seems to be a bunch of much larger dragons(just look at the comparison between the viking ship and the water dragon) ofcourse size wise they are still 6 inches.

not a huge disappointment, i still like the sculpt, just that it will be a little weird to display all of them together.

Hopefully it is bigger than Series 4.

IMHO, TMP is focusing more on diorama in Series 5.

They are used to represent an object's dimensions which are much smaller or bigger than the original.

Eg. 1:2 scale model

My original model would be 2cm long while the smaller scale would be half its length, i.e 1cm. biggrin.gif

So for a car, the original model would be the real car?
And in the case for dragon models, it would be the assumed size relative to the size of the human models?

The original model can be a real car, jet or whatever for that matter.

In reality, dragons do not exist, therefore there is no relation of its size to a human.

You can make it as small as your thumb or as big as a country and still call it a dragon. tongue.gif

Hi there prazole,

Depending on the type of plastic they use, you might or might not risk ruining the wings. As far as I know, there are two types of plastics they use on the dragons. Transparent hard plastics like those on that sorcerer or the series 1 komodo are easier to reshape and easily readjustable at high heat (they soften and harden in a short time), while the soft bendable plastics like the wings of the komodo series 4 are less resistant and so might lose its firmness after being exposed to high heat. I learnt this the hard way coz i gave hot water treatment to my komodo and now its wings have gone droopy. I noticed the dragons from the earlier series were made from more heat resistant plastics than the last series, presumably they were trying to cut cost on production sad.gif . Just in case you have droopy wing problem with the komodo boxset dragon, do not attempt to hot water treat it.

To straighten the wings, just heat the water in a saucepan or pot until close to boiling point, then just soak the part you want to readjust. the wings will become soft and floppy when you soak it in, and using a towel, just hold the posture until it cools and hardens. Hope this helps wink.gif .
