I, like several of you, absolutly hate the POOP dragon created by lego. so i decided to go ahead and create my own.

Image

i tried to make it aout of as simple pieces as possible, i looked it up on bricklink... it only cost on average $10! its also very easy to intergrate with color schemes...

it is very artiulate, however not very sturdy...

required you to cut a mgablocks tube thing to connect the nose piece, but its mega blocks...

hope you all like it...[/i]

no problem, but i've never heard anyone complain about the POOP dragon. the green one, right? i LOVE that guy! we used to pal around and everything!

as for this dragon however, i am very impressed. the only complaint i have is that it has the body structure of an adult dragon, but the size of a juvenile dragon (actually, a size measurement would be nice). i mean i guess it could just be generic, mini-dragon, but i'd absolutely love to see this thing massive.

Exactly. While I may be hesitant to shred Legos in the name of getting a cool custom piece, Megabloks I have no problems with turning into tiny chunks of plastic. On topic however, kickass dragon.

Brilliant design! Although, I'm rather fond of the regular dragons >=|

I don't have a problem with the normal lego dragons (although the armored one that came out in 2007 looked straight out of World of Warcraft). But I can see the merit in this design. I think an awesome application would be to make a white one and have it be a dragon skeleton. Or Frost Wyrm if you will. I just got very nostalgic for Warcraft...

Atomsk, you are my new hero. Cris, I'm stealing your design, Atomsk, I'm stealing your idea. Undying Tek, here we come!

Very well thought-out design, by the way. I like it.

hey thanks every one
the only complaint i have is that it has the body structure of an adult dragon, but the size of a juvenile dragon (actually, a size measurement would be nice).
its measurement is 9.5" with a 8.5" wingspan
its was meant to be a different species of dragon then most, smaller and faster at reproducing, not as intelegent though...

while looking around the internet i ran into this

im surprised at the similarities...

i guess my veiw of the green one is different than everyone elses... oh well...

that's actually bigger than i thought (that's what she said).

and wow, that other dragon DOES look similar. almost like an adult version of this one!

That larger one is strangely identical

You guys are just saying that because you like to use the word 'poop' in a sentence without people looking at you funny.

Well, due to it's sizing if you don't like calling it a small adult dragon, why not call it a full grown wyvern? Aren't they just essentially dwarfed dragons?

But anyway, pretty sweet design, MUCH better then any I've ever done.
