“The Black Dragon Tong is a secret arm of
the Chinese Boxer movement. They are
hell bent on bringing terror to the heart of
the West’s governments by targeting senior
officials, government ministers and even
monarchs and presidents.”
THE DRAGON LADY
“Few, even among the tong membership, can describe
her appearance accurately or consistently – there are
even rumours that she can change form. The most
common description is of a statuesque woman of
indeterminate age, dressed in long, flowing, decorated
oriental robes …”
UNDERCOATING
It is worth going over any model carefully just to make
sure there are no sprue, flash or mould lines, clean any
off with a sharp scalpel and a fine file. Undercoating is
essential as it provides a consistent surface on which to
apply the next coats of paint, and it shows up the detail
on a model much more clearly than shiny bare metal.
For the undercoat I used Humbrol enamel matt black.
Usually oil based undercoats better cover better on the
bare metal.
THE PAINT
I used Army Painter War Paints to paint The Dragon
Lady, mixing up colours to suit my style and preferences.
The Mega Paint Set provides an adequate range of
colours for almost all needs, but you will often need to
mix colours to get the desired results, however I have
tried to work out colour combinations to reduce mixing if
possible.
