Just took this pic…look at teh color differances! Both are soo pretty thoughWow! I didn’t realize it was THAT different. I knew the lap dragons were a bit out there, but dang! I need to find a peacock male in the old color variation (like the young dragon) soon, before they all disappear.

So in your case it sounds like there are big temperature swings and if the gypsum stone and the paint were expanding/contracting at different rates then that could cause the paint to flake. It sounds like Lamortfille might have the same temperature swing problem that you do, but to a much lesser extent since she likes to keep the house warm in the winter…and it also sounds like her Windstones have less freckling than yours, so there might be some correlation. It’ll be interesting to see what Melody says about this issue at some point…when things are less crazy for her…
The funny thing about that is it’s just my Emperor that is like that. But, maybe because he’s older then the rest. My Peacock Male isn’t bad at all. And he isn’t that much younger. I try to keep them out of the sun to minimise sun damage but, I’ve never thought that temperature and humidity would do that much damage.
From what Melody mentioned before, it really shouldn’t…which is why its kind of strange that you’re seeing that problem. Its possible that the paint on your emperor was a bad batch or something…
Its probably worth asking Melody about this since they typically want to get pieces with problems back to the factory so that they can figure out where the problem came from.

I would like to know just to satisfy my curiosity. It was love at first sight with my black griffin (and all of my pieces) and I wouldn’t send him back to the factory. If he was brand new, it might be different, but he’s already a “teenager”.

No I don’t think I would send him back to the factory. I pulled up a catalog from 1992 and he looks just like that one except the gold is darker and if it wasn’t for that one rust looking spot he would be perfect. (I don’t care about some gold rubbing off) 😉

I know what you guys mean…I’m pretty attached to mine also…
