Thanks! I had a lot of fun with it. The design concept of Dragon & Ship
was one I had months ago, but only recently did I get enough (or any!) of
certain specialized elements to build with.

Yes, I thought the same thing once it was done. I actually built the head
last, but to make it large enough to hide a two-person cockpit behind the
eyes, it ended up larger than I anticipated, and thus slightly large
compared to the width of the body and wings.

I used click hinges like these:

http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=30365
The ship/dragon is in three sections: Head, Torso, Abdomen. The Head
connects to the Torso with four click-hinges near the bottom (so the head
bends down). The Torso connects to the Abdomen with two click-hinges near
the top (so the torso bends up (although four would hold the weight better
in certan poses)). The tail and rear legs use click-hinges also, making
this a very "posable" model. Between the claws, hips, and wings, I used
several other kinds of hinge as well as 2x2 turntables to hold the underwing
thrusters at the perfect angle.
Thanks for the comments!
