Thanks, Saddly I've scrapped the humanoid form. I just can't get a head to
work right on it and now the leg joints are failing into rag doll effect.
But the tail disconnected at its bottom base and hinged up to the back where
it attached. This made an unsightly hump on the back. The blade part of the
tail then became a weapon. The legs were then straiter and the dragon head
swings back. When the head swing back it raises the wings which allows the
wing "feathers" to come foward as missle bays. Too bad I didn't take
pictures sooner when the joints held.
The knee joints used to work fine. They are 2 thin walled black friction
pegs with an antenna through then to make them snug. The problem came when
people came into my room and knocked it over(repeatidly). (This frequently
happens to my creations because my friends pay no attention to their
surroundings and have no respect for my LEGO)
While most of the parts came from the 3 sets the are several extra parts
used(especially in the legs)
As for the pilot I didn't really design a cockpit with it. The first part of
the design was made from the stormtrooper sets and a cockpit did not present
itself. However there is room for a pilot it the chest(very tight fit) or
one in the back where the humanoid head was stored. I think the back would
work better, but the pilot would be facing the wrong way.
As a final note I added some more better pictures on my site.
