I thank you for coming to my defense. Yes, the two dragons are different. In
fact, they are very different when you have them up close. However I will
admit that from a distance, as they are in the pictures I sent in for MOTM,
they do appear very close to being the same. I'm actually planning on MLCading
all four of my dragons for permanent future reference, and if there are no
objections submitting them for the MOTM.

As do I. I guess saying I built the red dragon from scratch doesn't help
things any.

Yes, unfortunately the Cool Lego Website of the Week turned into that. Tamyra
Teed was almost up in arms that my website, after winning the CSOTW, could not
be up for voting again like some others (Ed Boxer's for example). I understand
the idea of limits, but as she would point out, my website had changed
dramatically. I won the CSOTW before I had built my large castle, tower,
atoll, airship, four really big dragons, and a story that for now sits at 24
chapters long. The story when I won CSOTW was A chapter and it wasn't even the
first one.
I submit... what if I had won MOTM with a small cottage MOC (MOTM not SOTM just
for reference) and a few months later, after much practice and improvement was
able to create one of my dragons in MLCad? I think I would have been quite put
off in that situation, unable to show off my new prowess. I know, however,
that IRL this is not the case with me, as I went right off the bat with the
dragons, so you don't have to flame me about it.

One of those, be careful what you wish for things, I'm sure. ;)
