TheOneVeyronian Posted January 5, 2016 New year, new MOC. Basically I just had an idea involving using parts from the Smaug bigfig and it turned into this guy. Meet Draphim the Dragonborn: (click the pics for higher resolutions!) Not much to say about this guy really, except that he is an anthro dragon warrior that utilises parts from the Smaug bigfig. Plus I wanted to use that awesome printed Ninjago dragon shield piece and try some new torso and leg constructs. I also learnt that small Technic panels really work wonders for filling out arms where they use just a single bone to avoid them becoming flat. I think he came out really well, and I'm really pleased with the shield construct in particular. As always, comments and constructive criticism appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Gidman Posted January 5, 2016 Whoa. An impressive use of Smaug's head and wings, well done! And with those edges, that shield could be a weapon of its own... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santaends Posted January 5, 2016 Oh my word.. epic use of the gold flame pieces. Those legs are double the thickness, how do you do that sorcery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOneVeyronian Posted January 5, 2016 Whoa. An impressive use of Smaug's head and wings, well done! And with those edges, that shield could be a weapon of its own... Thanks! Indeed, it could. The edges of the shield were a last minute addition to make the shield match Draphim more. Oh my word.. epic use of the gold flame pieces. Those legs are double the thickness, how do you do that sorcery? Thanks! The legs use a similar concept to the General Grievous constraction figure with 2 bones side by side connected by Technic liftarms, but Draphim's legs are built quite differently.

The Indivisible Woman Posted January 5, 2016 That's one of the nicest Technic/action figure MOCs I've ever seen - very smooth build for the limbs, and I love the colour scheme! The shield is fantastic, really great use of those pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
