Hey Matt,
I always love seeing 'brick-made' creatures,
especially dragons!

I've always had a penchant for drawing
dragons, but this was my first actualy
attempt at a lego rendition.

http://www.lugnet.com/~1112/Creations

Here's a page with more description.

I have to admit that I have a hard time
understanding the pictures. What I mean
is that I see all the pieces clearly
enough, just have a moment to see what
the pieces are meant to be.

Yep, another result of my poor photograpgy
resources at my disposal, and lack of funds
to upgrade.

What I think would help would be a good 'over
-all' picture.  One that shows the dragon in
a fairly cool pose that really looks dragon-
like.

When I get the parts to build the two hind
legs and improve on the tail, you can expect
another wave of pics.

The two or so pictures you do have, have the
dragon looking like he's eating birdseed.

Heh...and I thought it just looked as
though the dragon were bowing forth. I
believe the lack of 1x1 clips attributed
to that error.

Aside from all that.. WOW!  What a serious
project!  Overall the dragon looks pretty
menacing, and all the horns make it look quite evil.

Well, yes, that was my original intent,
although it was four or so months late
for the midnight MOCkery contest :) I'm
just thankful it came out as I planned,
albeit smaller than I expected.

I'm interested in how you built the spine.  Also
I see a brown vine piece with stuff attached to
it.. what are you using that for? It looks very
interesting.

Would you believe that was a last minute
addition for a 'tail'? Yeah, I would admit
that it's not exactly the best solution,
hence I need to get brown hunges and
additional dino tail pieces for that.

I'd love some more comments on how exactly
you made this monstrosity!

Well, the original idea started when I saw
Todd Kubo's dragon about a year ago, and
I've been collecting pieces since then.
(although for the originality points, I
wanted a different spinal and wing system.)
The rest came from an abundance of
lightsaber pieces, clips and a few unique
parts use ideas I had in mind.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the comments!
