I did it before the contest, but I did not take any pictures just like with most of my creations :-P .

I did not count the parts ratio, but I guess it is OK because the body is made almost without system parts.

Front

Without wings
Spewing fire
Back

Well, at least I still have a chance of making second place?

Seriously, this thing is awesome. It'll certainly make the finals. It's perhaps not as fiery as it could be, maybe if the silver was cut down on and replaced with orange or yellow. Minor critiscism though.

Awesome MOC, it has a good chance of going far in this contest. The head is beautifully made.

I strongly agree.

The thin is a little bit too thin, compared to the body, but that's the only con I could find. This is awesome. The neck is incredibly well done, as well as wings. Same thing for the head, which is very well detailed. Seriously, I can't find anymore words to describe this. I'd say "Shut up and admire.", if someone asked me something about this MOC. 9.9/ 10. Not 10 because of the thin tail.

One of the finest examples of art around here, sir.

Everyone choose today to put out the awesome ones and because I'm not typing 'I love it' on every one of them, I chose the best one to do it for. Evidently, I chose yours, so here is your I love it. You earned it. I dare say it might win as well.

This is a pretty good moc but I can see those leg bones there. Try to put some armor or something there.

First off, the "Fire" theme isn't really clear; it just seems like a red dragon. Even something small like flaming nostrils or flame-colored wings would really help get that across. However, that's just contest criticism, as a stand-alone MOC those additions would actually lessen the impressiveness of a truly well-designed dragon.

This is a fantastic creation, easily one of the best, if not the best, Lego dragon I've seen. You did an astounding job making the body and limbs smooth and textured, with a perfect shape. I'm in awe. Seriously, fantastic work there. The neck technique is excellently done, and works well. If the MOC has a weak point it's the head. The square, exposed system pieces clash with the rest of the MOC. The white clip teeth, in particular, really need to be replaced or covered up. The white squares ruin the look of the mouth. Beyond that, the tail needs to be bulked up more.

Overall, the body, limbs and neck are awe-inspiring, but the tail and head don’t necessarily match, although they are both still very good. A fantastic MOC altogether that I think will go far in the contest. Good luck to you!

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.

Don't worry, I'm sadly from Europe so I won't be able to send it to Brickfair so you still have a chance. If I would have any red rahkshi back I would use them instead, and most of other parts aren't even available in red color .

Thanks. That tail is a bit thin, but there aren't much more possibilities and it's pretty poseable this way. I built the neck with 2 of these these parts (not sure which length).

There is no connection point another part of armor, but this way you can bend it and the armor covers the upper foot really nicely. Works for bending it in both directions.

Well, it's a dragon. And it's red. And I even used those Tahnok shield parts.

One more time: Thank you very much.

I really like the body design. The design of the head is great. I also like the wings, though the tail is a bit thin.

MOCs not sent to Brickfair, in the event they make the Finals, will be disqualified. We've had people ship from New Zealand, Sweden, etc. You can definitely get it here.

Yeah, but I'm studying, not working, so I just don't have enough money so I could send it to the USA.
