I took a few pictures of my Dragon before packing it up for BrickWorld. As with many of my models it doesn't really photograph very well. Overall I'm happy with the results. I had fun working at this scale and it gave me a greater appreciation for those who do such detailed minifig work.

Thanks for the feedback on it earlier you guys. I think it turned out much better because of the suggestions.

Here's the deep links:

This is very well done. The trees are simple but well executed, and the dragon has a lot of ferocity dripping from every inch. My only complaint is that the close up of the dragon is a bit blurry.

Anybody get the license number of that red flying gator??? :shock:

Pretty impressive monster you got there. Beats the snot outta my puny LEGO green and black common variety dragons. 8)

Very nice. Have you posted it before? I should like a more detailed study of it. Chicago is inconveniently located for me on the west coast, or I would see it up close. I envy people who can build such good BBBs. Brick Built Beasts.

Beautiful trees and absolutely fantastic dragon. The construction on both is just perfectly done.

I'd say you're definitely a master when it comes to building creatures with bricks.

I like the row of tan technic angle connectors you've used all along the belly. Gives it a very bony yet strong/armored appearance. If he doesn't rip you apart with his teeth or claws, he'll simply crush you with his weight. The wings are also very well done!

I like what you did with the belly as well. Seeing all those bone outline makes it look so cool!

:shock:

I am seriously blown away. Incredible! The thing I find most impressive is the fantastic pose you've got him in, but I have to say the thing I actually like the most is the teeth!

I like this a lot. The underbelly is done very well. I have seen that use of the ninja sings before but it is very effective. Keep up the good work.

The retouched photo alone was worth blogging. I think photographing anything that big is going to be a challenge. Nice work.

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.

The wings are superb! I like the head and the body. A very vicious yet sleek design makes this a great creation to look at. Kudos for a well made creature!
