its frightening appearance, the animal has been fully domesticated and is
quite pacified.

to be attached to something mean-looking. I'm still not sure about the mix
of good old bricks with ugly prefab parts, but I like how it turned out overall.
I think I've created a monster, though - of course I just *have* to build
a castle to put this guy in :)
PLMKWYT!

to photograph Lego right now is on top of my computer under a desklamp.
