Can anyone suggest what I should be looking for to use as an adult bronze dragon. She is huge (15ft x 15ft or 3 squares x 3 squares) - I have a red dragon that I can proxy but the dragon is a pivotal NPC who will occasionally fight with the party so a suitable miniature would be cool.
WizKid came out with a bunch of good dragon minis you could use. However, a more affordable option might simply be to hit up the toy and mini section of a craft store or toy store. A kid's toy of a dragon works just fine and won't look like any other type of dragon mini you have. I use a black dragon figure from a toy store for a mini and the fact that it was prepainted was a huge bonus.
Seconding the Reaper Minis recommendation; I just acquired Marthrangul, the Great Dragon from there, and while it's too big to be used as an Adult dragon, they have several other handsome dragon minis you can peruse. Unfortunately they don't always give sizes for their minis; they did for Marthrangul but not for others. You can do Google image searches for the miniature names to get some user photos that show the minis on a battle mat for scale. Kyphrixis, the Copper Dragon looks to be about the right size.

For painting bronze figurines I'd recommend this video from Black Magic Craft
If you don't mind a spendier option and painting a mini yourself, Reaper Miniatures has some cool options. WOTC probably has a few as well!
