I have mixed feelings about posting this, after all, certain people say I only
do this to get attention.

Regardless, Tamyra Teed has called out to us castle heads to come up with
LDrawn Castle entries for the MOTM.  I, along with several others, have
answered her call.  This is my submission to the Ldraw.org Model of the Month
contest:

Tel'Karak Zrahl, the now virtual wind of death

http://www.geocities.com/savatheaggie/dragon/TelKarakZrahl.jpg

She is my second attempt at building something in LDraw, and my very first in
using POV-Ray, so please forgive me for the lack of control for the lighting
and background.  She is made up of 70 independent sections, allowing her to be
posed in almost any conceivable position.  Basically, she's modeled almost to
be almost totally identical to the real thing.  Changes include changing of
colors where in real life I did not have the same bricks.

Further pictures can be seen here.

I shall be putting the dragon in different poses this weekend, if the spirit
moves me I'll share those as well.

-PLMKWYT.... oh wait, darn, I must be starved for attention, just like those
certain people said.  It's a good thing they aren't starved for attention
either and don't post their creations to be shown off as well.  Whew, I'm sure
glad they told me I'm starved for attention or else I'd never know.

Anthony, Nice job on your dragon. I can't even imagine how long that would have taken me to build in one of the Lego CAD programs. I always enjoy checking out your work. Keep it up. :-) -Andy Lynch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Sava" (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

Good Grief. You deserve all the attention you can get for that one. It looks fantastic. (After about an hour of fiddling trying just to get a minifig look right in LDraw) I'm gobsmaked at the amount of time and effort that must have gone into that. (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)
