I painted Deathsleet as a Pathfinder white dragon. The miniature is made by Reaper Miniatures, and i purchaed it as part of the first bones Kickstarter. The base is a three inch Reaper base as a two inch base was going to be too small with the support pillar. Base wise that makes it an Old Dragon in Pathfinder.
I made the rock pillar from craft sticks and greenstuff (kneadatite). The Deathsleet miniature has been reported as having weak ankles, resulting in the dragon drooping over time. (See these threads on Reaper forum: here, here, here, and here). When I started on this model the suggested fix was to use a hot pin inserted through each foot to provide internal support instead of rods. I did not managed to make this work for me. I needed an extra pair of hands and maybe a vice to keep the pin hot and hold the miniature stable all at once. Instead the right foreleg is glued to the rock for support. I did use the hot water adjustment method to try and bend the foreleg to a more open position though perhaps not enough.
