The latest addition to my collection of Aerofauna is this small group of three
Canal Drakes. The miniatures are Flying Dragons (AC4) from the Hordes & Heroes range by Kallistra, see;

The models needed quite a bit of cleaning-up, removing joint lines and flash before being animated (brute force to twist the necks and tails).
The Drakes were painted with a range of acrylic paints, varnished and then mounted in the same manner as the rest of the collection.

I am pleased with the way these small miniatures work alongside the 1/300th scale Aeronefs and considering they were bought to make up the minimum order value required by Kallistra when ordering by post, I think they have worked out well.
