maug is a Fire-drake hailing from the mountains far to the north, and it is doubtless that he is the largest and most powerful of his kind left in Middle-earth. His greed led him to covet the great wealth of Erebor for himself, and so he took wing, caring not that in order to claim his prize he had to assail the greatest kingdom of Durin's folk. So were Erebor and the neighbouring Dale, City of Men laid to ruin, and the survivors forced to flee their ancestral homes.

This magnificent multipart miniature depicts Smaug, the infamous dragon who brought desolation to Erebor. The kit is hand cast in high quality resin to produce a model with extremely fine detail – every scale, horn and battle-scar has been expertly reproduced to create a beatifically authentic collectors piece. Smaug is built upon a stunningly detailed scenic base that depicts the vast treasures of Erebor. The Arkenstone can be clearly seen amongst the gems and gold as Smaug looms over the would-be burglar Bilbo Baggins.

Weighing in at 2.4kgs, the height of the miniature from the bottom of the base to the tip of Smaug’s wing is 8.4 inches (or 21.4 cm).

This kit comprises 42 resin components, and comes with a 231x133mm oval base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.

This resin modelling kit is not a toy – it is a collectible item and construction should only be undertaken by expert Warhammer hobbyists aged 15 years and over. Some preparation and cleaning will be required prior to painting. Small areas of flash and mould lines will need to be filed or sanded, and larger casting gates will need to be removed before construction.
