My wife LOVES Dragons!

 

[Fowler]

I did some more work on the dragon

next step is to figure out what I will use for skin/scales

 

[Fowler]

Did some more work on the dragon

My camera on my new phone is not the greatest

The claws are cut up pliers (from dollar tree)

Its a 3 claw dragon so its a common dragon not a royal dragon

The inside on the dragon is a old motorcycle chain, some nuts, bolts and a couple springs

I may put a few more springs in there

Then I will start the head. The head is the hardest to do

Nice work, it looks really good.

They have one in Vandalia IL, the head is 20' in the air and breaths fire.

You buy a token at a hardware store down the street, when you put the token in the box at the base of the dragon it opens a propane valve and ignites the gas to create a flame.

Looks better when it's dark.

I have been thinking of making it breath fire. Don't know if I will do that or not.

4 months of work , EXCELENT :clapping:

 

[Fowler]

4 months of work , EXCELENT :clapping:

the reason it takes so long is because how things fit together does not just come to me all at once.

Sometimes it takes a long time before I see it in my head

I will think about different parts for a long time then all of a sudden how I want to do it will come to me.

Now if I wanted to make a exact duplicate of this I could do it a lot faster (assuming I have the parts)

To be honest a lot of time my crazy ideas will come to me after I had a few but I have a strict rule I do not do anything I can get hurt from after I have had even 1
