That is really cool. I'm not a big fan of the brick built knight.

I'd like to see how the dragon compares to a mini fig.

Thanks for posting this.
It's a Christmas Miracle!

Wow, Very nice looking dragon. For some reason it seems like something you'd find at the LEGOLand gift shop.

This is a great dragon, must have been inspired by Formethean.

That is such a cool dragon! It must have been very hard to build.

Adorable! I actuallly really like the knight, especially his plume -- he fits perfectly with the brick-built dragon, and gives the dragon a nice sense of scale.

That's a cool little dragon. It looks like a minifig would only come up to the hip.

I'm not in love with the dragon, but the miniland scale fig is interesting. I like it's plume the helmate design and how well it illustrates that the silver sword is too large for regular figs...

God Bless,

Nathan

And she had the gall to call that thing 'mini'... Well, I guess it is when compared to some people's dragons.

I relaly like the color scheme and all of the hard work done to make it work. The stripes alone must have taken a long time to figure out. Using the printed tiles (from Deep Sea Alpha team, no less!) was a great idea, and adds great detail. The wings have a nice shape, even if they're not exactly what I call accurate. His body is pretty short, though she did a commendable job of narrowing him down toward the tail. this really is an awesome sculpture.

Azure, a saltire cantoned with a star in chief and in base and two crescents addorsed in the flanks, argent.

Thats a pretty neat dragon. The amount of......whats the right term............roundness to him is incredable. That being said, it kinda lacks something. Like scariness. This dragon is the typical, round, fat, tiny front armed, small winged creature. It is certainally well made, but it's no match for Sava's.

Why does every dragon MOC, great or otherwise, have to be compared to Formethean and his siblings? It that the only criteria for LEGO dragons these days?

About the dragon: I really like it, especially the colors. The roundess gives it a more comic look. More "Puff", less "Smaug". Also, I keep think of the dragon as a "her". Perhaps she's a pregnant dragon?

Hehe, can we expect a thinner version next time and a bunch of little dragons? :P

Anyways, great dragon! I just saw it on Brickshelf and ran over here to check if the forum saw it already... Bruce beats me... again...

Well, when the dragon looks exactly the same...

But let's keep on topic.
