about making a mech with teeth before, and the instructions on how to make the
dragon's head were adapted to my needs nicely. Two of my friends laughed there
butts off when they saw it in person. They liked it, but it was quite different
from my usual designs. They liked the claws too, btw.
Again, Chris, I'm glad you liked it!
