I wanted the same thing when I started working on the DR8CO and Razor. One
thought I had, maybe you can make it work, is capes. The little minifig
capes, all overlapped. Could make a cool feathering effect. I thought of
using the Ewok hang glider bits too but I didn't want the printing of it.
Make sense? For me it would have made my dragons Ewok inventions of war or
something. One last idea for you. The new Technic Darth Vader comes with a
huge black cape. It's cloth. It's Lego. It's big enough. Hmmmmmmm, all
you'd have to do is make a skeleton for it.
Good luck! Be sure to let us know what you do.

| 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 (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
