Nah, not me. I hate having my picture taken. I have taken more pictures of the draogn though, with a minifig in the shot to show scale. That’s the best that I can do on that front. He is big, though. Somewhere over 150 studs long.
  
So how much mobility do you get out of it? Can he hold himself into poses? In one pic it looks like the wing is folded in, is that right?

Correct, the wings are folded in that picture. He’s pretty mobile, too, though Unless his body is touching the ground I can’t get him to go on three legs, he’s just too heavy. I’ll be posting a page about him soon with different poses as well as going into detail on his mobility.

   Did a great job overall, good shapes and makes sense. The dragon looks a tad on the blocky side from some angles, but I got no good ideas on how to rectify that. Once you start getting big, blocky tends to prevail as it is convienant. I like how you executed the dorsal spikes. Smaller in front moving to bigger brick spickes then back to smaller ones. I’d suggest going from the podracer flap to 1x slopes on jumpers, then to the 2x slopes then back down.

Blockyness does prevail with him, but it was kind of a theme from the beginning. Since I was working off his head, I went with the idea of using lots of plates to create the idea of slopes. As for the dorsal spikes, I tried using 1x slopes inbetween the flaps and the 2x slopes, and it didn’t look right. The podracer flaps are 2 studs wide, so it looked odd having his spikes get thinner and thicker again.
  
Gadzooks man, great job. Any internal working pics?

Thanks much! Yup, like I said, I’m working on a page for him with more poses and internal pics.

And thanks for the response!
