Other than that, I think you pulled it off brilliantly! Great body form, claws, tail and head. Fantastic looking Dragon!

Thanks much! I will admit the cloth wings are a bit of a cop out, but look at the original wings. I much prefer the way it is now than before. But yes, I agree, it would probably have been better made from plates.

However, in my own defense, even the LEGO group uses cloth where bricks don’t do the job. Pirate ship sails, Bellville accessories, Minifig capes, and there are several full scale darth vader sculptures with full length black cloth capes. So just what is your definition of ‘LEGO’ ;)

But anyway, I’m glad you liked the rest of him. Thanks for the compliments!

And thanks for the reply!
