Hello All;
These figures are part of a project I hope to have finished in time for ECLSTS. It will be the Brandywine & Gondor Railroad's first freight train.
The small dragon is one of many that have started to hatch in the lands that formerly were Mordor. The men of Gondor have secured several of these young dragons to train to carry dragon riders aloft as part of a new plan for aerial defenses for their realm. They remember all to well the destruction carried out by the flying Nazgul in the Great War of the Ring. But even the Nazgul did not have dragons to carry them.
It seems that Sauron had found a way to keep dragon eggs in stasis. Once Sauron was destroyed, the dragon eggs hidden within his borders began to slowly develop and hatch. The men of Gondor discovered these dragons while they were still quite young. They cannot fly or spout flames as yet, and they are both tamable and trainable. But they still have to be fed.
The Knight of Gondor is a Papo figure. Chris Walas sent me the dragon figure several years ago. The haunches were cut from the rear of a chimera that Chris sent with the dragon. I had to do some repainting, and use Plastruct white tubular rod stock for the "bones." It's not perfection, but still looks pretty convincing - at least to me.
