Frang Kaai, the Primordial

A venerable dragon, revered for centuries. Records of dragons stretch far back into the fogs of ancient history. Was there a lineage of proud drakes, or was there only the everlasting Frang Kaai, as he once claimed?

So, the dragon MOC which I've had in various degrees of completion for over a month now is finished! And I think he turned out pretty well, and was an interesting build, as a more serpentine Asian-style dragon as opposed to my main previous dragon MOC, the Tyrannarahk, which is a Western-style dragon. In part the difference is because I currently think a proper dragon needs cloth/fabric wing membranes, unlike the Tyrannarahk (whose wings I've grown increasingly critical of), and I didn't have those on hand to use. They're also remarkably rare and expensive on BrickLink, especially the Black Pearl sails. Hence, a wingless serpent dragon! Speaking of pieces on hand, I also don't have much blue HF cladding at all, only really what Dragon Bolt had, so I had to make do in that regard as well.

Lastly, if any of you are wondering about the name, it's partly a stealth reference, which his bio further hints at, so let's see if anyone can catch it.

Comments are welcome!

That's an interesting use of the Jumper plate on the head, and I like how you used a wing piece as a beard for the head.

Thanks! Although I'm used to thinking of this as the jumper plate. As for the wing, it fit surprisingly well into the Kaiju jaw piece, so I am pleased with that bit. I guess you could say that keeping my Chima sets nearby where I build paid off.
