By size, I meant the number of bytes the file will take up on a disk, not the pixel dimensions of the image.

I actually have the same problem, I take several pics but their always 36 kbites and stuff. Do you guys know how to reduce the file size? The file size of .jpg images is determined by the degree of compression. Some image editing programs allow you determine this with a "quality" control ...

It's nice to see a Nightmare Before Christmas model:

I'm really impressed by some of the inventive building, especially the scorpion:

I have found the number of colors horses are made in a bit limited, but I'm really more bothered by the monolithic horse piece itself. Only the neck is jointed, the horse cannot be separated to provide parts for a centaur or other mythical creature, and a unicorn horn cannot be easily attached. I th...

Clone brands are disallowed, I'll guess?
Does the theme have to be minifig-scale?

:D I approve.

The incorporation of plants in the upper arms is clever, and your use of rubber bands seems both functional and decorative. And the model's well-articulated while having the vital plant-like appearance.

The technic belly is well done, and I like how it provides connections for the flexible rods onto which the back's scales are clipped. I've always wondered how to created a good scaly look in a model.

Would it not be possible for the horns to be dual-purposed. Have a thin tip for use in helmets that is attached to a thicker tip that can be put into MOCs. It might be a more awkward piece, but it would provide universal versatility. That is the way some of the classic plumes are: http://media.peer...

There's an accompanying rocket sleigh, but I'm less interested in that sort of thing.

This is a great example of Studs Not On Top construction, what with most of the studs facing downward. The roof is inspired.

Many models labeled as "jibblies" seem to feature interesting construction techniques used to create facial features, so I often find them worth looking at. However, the many similarly-titled threads and "Jibbly, Jibbly!" exclamations do get a bit tiresome.

Re: .............................................

I found this part: http://www.bricklink.com/P/9/41677.gif The round ends of those technic pieces results a good impression of interlocking stones. I guess you ran some rods or hoses through the axleholes to enable the pieces to bend into that curve. The bridge is definitely the most detailed part o...
