Well, I must say...leave it to Anthony to generate a
wicked draconic project, scales included.
|
What can I say, I’m obsessed.

- More dynamic foot and ankle
- Added rear leg hip flap and rotation joints
- Cloth and lighter weight wings
- Added point of articulation for wings
- Main spine flex

I’ve done my best to maximize organicness, so I tried very hard to cover
up all gears, axles, everything. Which is ironic, for as complex as he is,
I tried to make him look like I’d not used anything complex to build him
with. For the most part, I feel like I succeeded. Harder places to cover,
like the knees and elbows, could not be easily covered, so instead I created
spikes to block them from view.
|
Well, that seems to have been accomplished...the only concern now
is movement articulation. Can this dragon be set in a variety of
poses without breaking, or it he fully functional with all of the
gears and bits included?
|
I posted a page a day or so after I posted the dragon. Did you happen to see
it? There are more pictures with other poses in them. Here’s a link in case
you didn’t:

If you did, then, I’m not sure how much articulation you were looking for. He’s
fully functional, though his joints are best adjusted with help to take the
weight off the joint itself (as opposed to just blindly turning knobs).
| |
| |
He’s also quite a bit larger than his original form, so he’s the biggest
of the four dragons. I do not have any plans to do similar redesigns for
any of the three other dragons.
|
Hmm...that would be a pretty ambitious project, though. But
anything on that scale must be time consuming, so it’s not too
surprising.
|
Actually it’s a cost thing over a time problem, since I’m unemployed and all. I
have all the time I need it seems. It cost me over $200 to get all the parts
off Bricklink to build him. It would have been a heck of a lot more had it not
been for the donations I recieved. And all of this on top of my existing LEGO
collection to work with.
Thanks much, I’m glad you liked him.
| |
Not much in terms of criticism here...it would have
been nice to have the dragon’s eyes illuminate (with
electrical components) or for the joints to be
electronically positionable, but that’s probably
more ambitious than realistic.
|
I’m not even going to touch that with a twenty foot pole. I’ll leave that
project to someone else, probably someone with a death wish or masochistic
tendancies. ;)
Thanks for the reply!
