The dust had gotten so bad over the years I decided to take my dragon statues outside and hose them down and clean them with soap and water. Now they are all spiffy clean. :D

....This is the most brilliant thing I have ever seen! I have a couple of dragons made out of that black stuff... and they just collect dust as years roll by. I didn't even think of taking a hose to them. Bravo for it clicking that you can do that..... Now I think I may be doing this myself <3 Thank you for sharing
Not just a hose. Depending on how dirty they are you may need to use dishwashing detergent and a soft paint brush to get into teh detail to clean out the dust. My livingroom is next to teh kitchen so grease gets all over the place and makes the dust stick to the statues over time. Dishwashing soap cuts the grease and gets them all nice and clean.
And thus have I found your next purchase: http://www.designtoscano.com/produc.....code/CL5533.do
Done.
Done.
The basement is more of a museum :D

My collection is getting very big and I need to reorganize some things. Once my tennant moves out later this year I may convert his room into another display area and guest room.
I built two models, the Tyderium Shuttle under the Snow Walker: http://www.thedragonsden.ca/StarWars/SW03.jpg and a Battlestar Galactica Viper not shown. The rest are prebuilt. I also have a room fulled with a couple hundred unbuilt model kits of sorts.

I think I remember seeing something you posted a while ago about all of your unbuilt models just sitting on shelves. One of the items in your collection that caught my attention was the 'Glow in the Dark' Intergalactic Cruiser. Had one just like it a long time ago and managed to get a new one last year. You're definitely an avid collector from what I have seen. Keep it up. As for myself, I managed to find three Space: 1999 Eagles at a comic and collectible convention in Philadelphia a couple of years ago and I just had to have them.
The eagles were great kit but once the same scale di-cast ones came out I baught them up and got rid of the kits.
I really liked the Leif Ericson Intergalactic Cruiser and was happy to see them release it in both glow and regular lit versions. I think I have 5 of them now.

One of my neighbors did come over asking what all these dragons were about. I ended up showing her the rest of my house. I think she was more shocked than impressed (creepy single neighbor collects dragon and monster statues and has them all over his house). Fortunately I did not show her my fursuit collection :D
That's Gaston the butler gargoyle but they don't seem to carry him any more. You can get him in other poses:

Just a smaller version of one of the links you provided, for putting on a tv or monitor. Good for a start. :D

I have to admit. I always thought it silly when people collected dragon statues.
But you did it right!
Not just a collection of spiffy, shiny, crystalline trinkets and tiny statues. You've got a legitimate collection here. All of it matching as well as serving as furniture in some cases.
Well done! :>

few more here including some small dragons: http://www.thedragonsden.ca/Dragons/more/
oh my god, I love the rocking ones and the McFarlane ones! (http://www.thedragonsden.ca/Dragons.....e/DSC00156.JPG) ps, Im surprised you're a tauntan and a wookie.. I mean.. you have so many dragons!
'Wookiee' is just my nickname my friends gave me after seeing Star Wars since I am a hairy guy and I really don't have a fursona but just like to wear different animak fursuits especially the tauntaun. I have always wanted to build a dragon fursuit but wanted to cut my teeth on other fursuits first to build up some skills. I also have not found a good enough material to work with a dragon without making him furry. Then there is the issue of longer tail and wings. I will make a dragon some day though. :)
Awesome collection! I have the dragon coffee table and two different side tables myself, plus a bunch of figurines. That really big dragon you have is one I've been wanting to get. I saw it while on vacation once, but the store didn't offer shipping. Hoping to find a place that will let me order it at some point but that's been a hard one to find.
Very cool stuff!
