Skeleton Dragon (Hopefully Final Version)

[Takanuinuva]

With the recent LDD update adding in the Fire Vs Ice Chima parts I was able to update my model of my Skeleton Dragon. Changes from the last one include

1. New rib cage and wing bones from Chima

2. New feet from HF IFB

3. New lower jaw design

First My Custom Sigfig Baron Von Brickstein. (I have LDD and IRL pics of him)

 

Just a quick bio of him. He was originally my character in Lego Universe. When it was closing down. He took a fragment of the Imagination Nexus and built a portal out of the game into the Lego World. He then used the fragment to make another Imagination Nexus and built a Skeleton Castle atop a mountain. He then took control of the Ninjago Skeleton Army and the Fantasy Castle Skeleton Army and made them soldiers of good. He wields a battle axe and a armor harness that can sprout dragon wings for flight. His axe and armor harness have slots to plug imagination in them to power them up (Represented by 1x1 trans clear round tiles. Might be changed to the Arkenstone printed ones in the LOTR set The Lonely Mountain)

 

LDD Pics (Have what IRL Colors would be but no printing since it isn't available in LDD)

Comments and criticism appreciated

Both of these are really good. The skeleton dragon is pretty impressive.

 

I think you did a nice job with your sigfig he looks preffy imposing with all of the armor. I like how you tied it into LEGO Universe with the 1x1 clear tile. That's a nice addition that gives it a little more depth.

 

You did a really nice job with the skeleton dragon. I think my only complaint with it is that the legs look a little too thin compared to the rest of the model. It's a skeleton though, so there probably isn't a way to add anything more to them with moving away from the skeleton feel. The wings look pretty nice as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the real life pictures of this, since I'm guess it looks even more impressive in person.

 

Good job on both of these!

Thanks. I've updated the post with IRL pics of the dragon.

I'd love to see-spot this awesome-cool design as a set! Have you tried-attempted LEGO Ideas?

[Takanuinuva]

I have sent a previous version to Lego ideas. I've been meaning to update that project with the newer pictures.
