(; But you are right, some of those models do go for very high sums. I checked with Tony Ackland, he confirmed that the spined dragon illustration was drawn for a catalogue and is not actual concept art.

Sometimes the sculptors just went for it from a concept on the back of a fag packet or just something in their head and then it would be illustrated for catalogues or articles after it was finished. This is why many of the illustrations look so much like the actual models.<br /><br />Also when you say second only in price to the Giant .... that may not be accurate.<br />There are one or two other models that seem to do better on ebay than the Spined Dragon. The 'Holy Grail' would be the The Chicken Dragon: £??? But the full set of moulds no longer exists and their are very few out there.<br /><br />But these are some of the minis that fetch silly prices:<br /> <br />The BIG Perry Giant: £300-400 <br />The Chaos Dwarf siege engine: £300-500<br />Thunderhawk spaceship (metal) Mint in wooden box: £250<br />LoTR BME 3 Balrog encounter at Khazad-dum box set.(In box) £200<br />Warmonger Titan £130-200<br />Original 'Rouge Trader' Landraider £120<br />NB1 The Great Spined Dragon £100<br />TA 2 Dwarf Juggernaut: £100<br />TA6 Emperor Dragon £80-100Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050457907264697309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-71180881509142269442013-04-12T12:36:53.740-07:002013-04-12T12:36:53.740-07:00It's Runequest not Runescape :=D
