The one thing I think is wrong would be the head. It seems out of tune with the other parts. It looks like dragon is a mean creatur (the claws give it that look). But the head looks.

Very reminiscent of the Nazgul, but with highlights. Your brother and my brother have the same hair!

According to all of my books, that would technically be called a drake: two legs, two wings.
Regardless, you did a pretty good job at that scale, but he's still going to have to grow into that head a little. I like the wings best. How did you attach the Bohrok teeth and the ball to the flat plates?

I reworked the dragons feet,and gave it red eyes instead of those blue

cones...to attach the claws to the wings I used a spoked wheel hub, the

kind with 4 dots in a row and an "axle" on ach end,place the claw piece

on the end..........I added some transparent orange wings to represent fire

breath...I like the new claws becsuse of how posable they are, and the

more customized parts to a design the better..

here are a few pics of the modified dragon...

That's the first time I've seen those wing pieces used as fire. I like it!
