LOL!~ This morning I found it as the main feature on MOCpages! I sent it to my sister, who had just finished the book. I think it's amazing! the rocks, the grass, the terrain all together. And the horde with the sklton and loot and the rest of the wyrm. 110%

Very nice work, as always. I love your mountainside design, and the wyrm is very well executed. Great work!

Nicely done. Another great entry for you.

Sidenote, so, that is what your voice sounds like. The LAML thing is pretty cool, for your part and theirs too. Adds a lot to the community.

You are consistently good on your MOCs. Keep it up.

The way you have layered the rock looks unatural but very nice. The usage of plant pieces is also quite creative.

Another stunning design. The mountain has a very realistic shape to it, and the plates certainly give the appearance of snow.

Although, I don't think I have ever seen this many studs in one of your creations.

Great piece of work! I especially liked the inside with the curled up dragon, skeleton and treasure. 8)

Geez, that a lot of grey. At first, I was thinking to myself that it actually looks kind of boring, at least the landscaping itself. However, since it is the top of a mountain, that makes sense. Also, the front, with the battle, makes up for that. Good job, and good luck in the contest!

Cheers, guys :D

I have made a couple of cosmetic changes (more green, a couple of trees & some funky mushrooms). You can check out the gallery for the Wyrm in the link below too.

Oh, very nice. I like the way you incorporated leaves into the wyrm (which, having no limbs, is very more wyrm-like than most other LEGO dragons. :wink: )

The new rock is well done, too.

Although the rock looks great, and the wyvern is nicely build i think this isnt one of your greatest creations. I really think the bigger mushroom is awesome!
You want a piece of me?!?!

I think I have been spoiled by you, since my first thought was, "hey, this is just good, not mind-blowing" ;)

Looking closer I find a lot of details that I love though. The mushrooms are pure genious! The wyrm is very cute as well, and the snow on the top of the mountain is just the icing on the cake (literally ;)).
