Keith,
This is similar to the problem that I had for years with walkers, mecha, what
have you.  I just didn't know where to start when it came to leg
articulation.  When I was a kid I just used 2x1 horizontal hinges, but when I
came out of my dark ages that wasn't good enough, as they weren't very
sturdy.  Then, one day, Lego came up with the Throwbots.  Those leg/arm
segments with the ball and sockets on either end rock.  I suggest you start
looking at those.  and if it looks too mechanical maybe you can cover it up
some-- or better yet-- it could be a clockwork dragon!  Ooooooooh.
