Oh, I really hope it turns up too! The gothic unicorns have always been my favorite. I would be overjoyed to see him come out in new colors!
Yes, I am waiting on them too! Trying to be patient…
:squeak: :squeak: :squeak:
ooooh I may go after that Peacock Lap… though she already has a bid on her… and the emerald one on ebay right now looks really nice too. Does anyone know a brand of paint that matches the peacock color? If she has nicks and scratches they will have to be dealt with… hmm.
That pink curl does look like she’s glowing purple! Kind of cool looking…
At first the chest looked a little strange to me… but in a way it makes sense… having a wide chest would help her wrap herself around her egg to keep it warm. Or at least in my imagination.

Wow… I would collect the gold dragons if they were all like her!
ran across a couple ads on Craigslist, thought I’d pass them along…

ooh thats a good idea… hmmm. Though, I would feel nervous doing that unless someone like Nam recommends it!

The picture showed it glossy and I was very disappointed. I hope someone can trade with you. Good luck.
Thanks
Did you end up ordering again to get the glossy finish?
Heh, I’m kinda glad I’m not the only one who gets picky about these details!

…that’s a bit awkward o__o
Tell me about it…and the side that is satin, the one I like, is on his rightAw that stinks! It must be really difficult to get the finish consistent, since there seems to be so much variation.
Does anyone know if we can request a certain kind of finish when ordering? I’m actually really tempted to just return my Lap (got him from Grandio) and wait until I can buy one that I really like. Almost 200 dollars is a whole lot for me to be spending and it would be nice if I could get the satin finish I like so much. But maybe I’m being way overly picky.
Melody might have different advice, but here’s what Nambroth told me about Gothic Unicorn hoof touch-up. I tried it and it worked perfectly.
Nambroth wrote:I just repaired the hoof on a gothic unicorn- I got the perfect match by blending burnt umber with some titan buff, both are Golden brand. However, I probably wouldn’t recommend getting these two paints just for the hoof, unless you plan on using them for other things too. They are expensive to just use a drop or two of each!
Aw, they are gorgeous! It is so cool to see all (or almost all) the colors together like that! Those fledgies look quite mischevious… I wonder what they’re up to!

It is weird but the picture flash makes them look glossy….
Wow, they are beautiful! I love your collection!
If you’re interested in trading, I’d be totally up for it. But if you want to keep him since he matches your other big guys, I’d understand too. Its up to you.
It was really hard to get pics that show the difference between gloss and matte… using the flash especially made everything look extra-shiny. I should put ’em in natural light and see if it makes a difference…
September 28, 2007 at 6:24 am in reply to: Trade Gloss Finish Black Gold Lap for Matte/Satin Finish? #621547Hey Guys,
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to trade Black Gold Lap Dragons… (I know its probably not likely but thought I’d ask anyway)?I just received my Black Gold Lap and was slightly disappointed to find that he has a glossy finish. I already have a Black Gold Mother and Baby, and was hoping the Lap would match their Matte/Satin finish. I was reading in another thread where many said that they actually prefer the glossy finish.
Don’t get me wrong- this Lap is stunning, nothing is wrong with him at all. I love him! I would just prefer a different finish.
If anyone is interested, let me know. Of course since I just unpacked him, I have all the official packaging ready to go.
Here are some pics… not that great of quality but I can try to get some better ones once its light outside.
If nobody is interested, I’ll just assume that the Males polish up their scales to impress the females. This old Mother doesn’t have time for such nonsense. The Lap looks vain anyway… it would match his personality I think. hehe.
