A little help please - Looking for Dragons or Dinosaur figures

David;

Thanks for the advice, I think I am leaving that one off my nephews build list for now, until he gets a few more under his belt.

Just be forwarned, this Draco kit with the metal figure included is not for beginners. It is molded vinyl which requires a lot of trimming and fitting, and from my experience with the kit, theres a lot of work ahead.........................

Hello All: Thanks for all your help. I have talked it over with my sister and found that both my nephews are now model builders. So if I can't find Dragons/Dinosaurs they are already building Armour, Autos, and Aircraft. So I may have to shift focus to getting them some beginner references and some supplies in addition to a kit or two. Cheers; Gregory

Go to ebay and search for this item number 160053524209. Its a model of Draco the Dragon from the movie Dragonheart

Years ago there was a kit produced of one of the dragons from the Sinbad movies. I am not sure but believe Testors produced it. Also they are not kits but Books A Million has several nice Dungeons and Dragons dragon figures. Also try places that sell comic book figures or fantasy figures.

Reaper minatures in Texas has the dragons you want, but they do not come cheap.

www.reapermini.com is the site, thier line is extensive and not nearly as expensive as GW stuff.

 Give them a try....they do fantastic mailorder!

Hi!!! a good idea is check this site www.games-workshop.com in the warhammer link you will find a online store, I´m building warhammer´s miniatures for almost 10 years and I build and paint one of their dragons, the detail is impresive, but I´m not sure if they are adecuate for a seven year old boy

so check the web

Thanks very much for the replies. I knew there had to be kits out there. I have checked a few of the Fantasy Gaming sites too, just trying to find some kits in a little larger scale to start him out on to learn the basics of painting.

Dragons can be found in Fantasy wargames sites. So you might want to check GamesWorkshop or similar.

HeavyArty's right about Tamiya making a few dinosaur sets. They are easy to build but not snap together, at least not the Raptors I have.
