Heck of an MOC Ecc! Loving all the interiors, but your detailing on the exteriors and blending of the styles there is really great.

Well, this is exciting! Hard to believe it's been 10 years though. I feel old all of a sudden.

This is a really great little house!

Thanks folks! Yes, the dragon is quite articulated; I need to get some pictures posted of it separate from the dio this week.

Dragon Attack on the Village Outskirts | mrcp6d | Mitgardia

A free build from me:

Dragons are somewhat rare in Mitgardia, and while some are tamable, most are deadly if reclusive wild animals. The Western Large-Maw Wyvern species is known for eating deer, bear, and especially mammoth--putting its disproportionately large head and mouth to good use. While they typically inhabit the more remote mountains and foothills north of Erikson and avoid contact with humans, every now and then one of these winged fire-breathers is pressured out of its home range and become a hungry menace to the smaller villages in the country between Erikson, Falkidalr, Nordheim, and Northridge. It's good to build in the Guilds again! I actually started the dragon before even last year's CCC and had it almost complete back then but didn't finish it or build anything to go with it. The wing fabric was designed by me in FUSION360 and then laser cut. Totally a fantastic way to do this kind of stuff as opposed to trying to cut stud-sized holes with a leather punch or something and the outline with a rotary wheel and scissors--I tried that with a test piece, it's not fun and frayed edges are a thing. CAD makes relating all the features super accurate, even through the angles created by the hinges. More angles in the Flickr album. C&C is always good.

This is a potentially cool idea really. Lower each full revolution a plate as you go towards the center and see what happens.

Stunning work here John! This is one of those MOCs that's deceptively enormous. You filled the acreage will a great amount of detail too and the colors all look nice together; however, I can't square the fall foliage on the trees with the lime green grass.

It took me a while to appreciate the sand blue of the central tower, but I quite like it as a low-key accent/change of pace from the usual. The little scenes of minifigs scattered throughout are lovely and the full interior is just awesome. Great, inspiring work once again Ecc!

The tunnel looks really cool here and the lighting within it looks fantastic.

The tower is a strong section of this build for me and I love the flipper roof technique--eventually I'll have enough flippers to try it myself! I think the hap hazard vegetation detracts some from this MOC though. I wonder what it would look like if you only used the flower stem piece, or if you didn't use any of the flower stem pieces.

Crisp build Kai. Those torsos work really well to get some subtle angles into the the timber framing.

Somehow I haven't posted in this thread until now! I certainly like the progress so far. I noted how well you've used the various tiles as carved wood but those horn torches are a great idea too.

I saw this and immediately thought "dang! we're building the same same thing!" Seriously though, this is well executed. The head of this beast is amazing and locating the action in swamp was a great idea with excellent landscaping to follow it through. Love that fire effect near the shield, but I wish it was thicker in the middle where the bar piece is. Dunno about the tree either, shape is great but the lack of texture in the trunk kind of conflicts with the nicely detailed & textured landscaping everywhere else. Good luck in competition!
