I would like to know what you think of using cloth in MOCs. This
applies primarily to the dragon I'm working on. I'd like to make the
dragon entirely out of LEGO elements, but the feathered wing designs
I've tried have had serious flaws.
I've created a bat like wing that would need cloth membranes in order to
fold properly. This wing is about 16 inches long when spread.
Here's a link showing the current iteration of the dragon's head. It's
going to be a bit long, but it should give an idea of the potential size
of the dragon.

Now that I've typed all of this for a simple question, LMKWYT.

| Well, your a pretty darn good builder, so chances are if you are going to use cloth, it will be done nicely. Mayby a whole slew of SW capes, like from Qui-gon and the red ones from the Imperial Shuttle may judt do it for you. They have little holes (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) How about using the 10x10 nets? (URL) They'd make a very sheer membrane, especially since they're made out of black string, but they are bigger than the capes. You could attach 1xN plates to the nets to make them more visible. Or overlap the (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
