The Dragon's New Shoes

[SavaTheAggie]

Well, I've gone and finally done it.

The Juvenile Dragon was built from mostly spare parts, left overs from the four mighty dragons and the griffon. Some of his mottled and thrown together look was intentional, some was not.

Over the years he's been built, I've been given a lot of constructive criticism on all parts of him. But no one part surpases the other than the criticism I've received over his rear feet.

Well, no more! Now that three of the four dragons have been reclaimed into their parts, I have redesigned his rear feet, and I am rather pleased with the result. I may go back and clean up the feet a bit, maybe try to remove that one corner, time (and parts) will tell.

You'll notice that he doesn't have claws on his rear toes like he does on his hands. That's a matter of part availability.

I'm also planning other changes to him, including *TRYING* to find other color click hinges to replace his current ones. Dark Grey I know I have. I'm going to shoot, however, for black and green. If I update him any further I'll be sure to post pics.

But now, the Dragon:

Before


After




Criticism is welcome and encouraged.

You wrecked three of your giant beautiflul dragons :!: :

There is no criticism from me considering you have done better than I could ever wish to do.



This is a nice improvement on those starwars slopes you had for his feet.Does he like his "New Shoes"? Tell him I said hi and to enjoy tearing apart Ikros. Oh wait he's a nice dragon. Hey is he gonna get killed by that Gryfon rider? If so give his family my condelences

Edit] By the way. What type of cloth do you use for his wings and where did you get it

[lil Jon]

I like his new feet better, the dewclaw (sp) looks very nice. Reminds me of a dogs paw. Most dogs however, have their dewclaw removed because they're prone to breaking, hopfully that won't happen to your dragon.

Maybe it needs knife toe nails like the front feet?

I like the new version much better. Very nice detail and nice way to do the teeth. Great job Sava.

I announced this a long time ago, so its no wonder you might have missed it. Yes, the Black, Green and Blue dragons are no more, I've reclaimed their parts. However, I did keep their heads intact, so perhaps sometime in the distant future I will rebuild one of them like I did the Red dragon.

The cloth I used for the wings is a stretchy, shiney, man-made material from an old Halloween Dracula cape we had lieing around. The fact that the fabric stretches really helps out in making the wings look better.

I'd love to do it, but like I said, I don't have the parts right now. Perhaps when I run into some money I'll make a BL order.

Thanks much! I can't take credit for the teeth, though. I gotta give that credit to Travis Dickinson.

Now those look like proper feet. Also, offer his family my condolences as well.

[TheOrk]

I'm amazed you could make that cooler then it already was

Since the other 3 dragons went to that big lego bucket in the sky, you should try making somthing else with the parts. Like a giant squid or somthing....

That's good that you still kept the heads. I can see why you took the others apart though. They just have taken up lots of shelf space not to mention bricks.


Ahh. So you killed Dracula for dragon wings ehh. Not such a bad trade

[Unknown Knight]

I love both of the Ikros sites (their both on my favorites folder). The young dragon just keeps getting cooler (or hotter, just ask those rocks in the temple). Just looking at him makes me want to build my own. Wait... not pieces .

Keep up the GREAT work!
