So cute, maybe I ought to make a larger one for er ... um ... some totally anonymous big person who always wanted to ride dragons... <br />One thing I noticed is that he sits back a little on his haunches (i.e. the rockers aren't level - most people probably don't care, but it's the sort of thing that catches my eye, ya know?) - I had a similar issue with a rocking horse I made, and solved much of the problem by cutting large holes in the belly and haunch of the central layer of MDF (I'm assuming you used 3 layers for the body) to lighten the rear somewhat. If that alone isn't enough, you could also cut a smaller hole in the chest/neck area and insert a lead weight or similar.

How about having the template include a few different variants for the head and the end of the tail, to give the dragon a more customizable "look" (because a Figment-shaped dragon head won't really look like Toothless's head even if painted black)? <br /><br />The basic body and limbs and vestigial wings would work fine for pretty much any dragon, but just cut off that main template at the neck and tail tip and have a few different head and tail-tip templates that could be mix-and-matched with it! Right?? The original Figment ones and Toothless ones and Hungarian Horntail ones and and and...!!<br /><br />(Natch I mean that the entire dragon would still be cut out of the wood/MDF in one piece, of course, just that the template itself would be made of separate body, head and tail pieces that would be taped together for tracing. May not have made that clear originally because exclamation points.)<br /><br />(Now pondering how to add retractable teeth to an open-mouthed Toothless rocker with grooves cut into upper and lower inside of jaws, possibly a thin hole drilled through throat to back of neck for discreet wire-operated pop-up mechanism? hmmmmm.)<br /><br />KimstuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
