Someday I'll have to wire all these lights onto a single switch.
I find it handy to pull as many parts as I think I'll need onto the build table before starting to build
These are mostly basic bricks and plates for the base.
Let's begin!
Oops, wrong piece...
The base is a little flimsy until it all comes together.
There's no real reason these are gold. I just have a lot of gold ones...
Time to build the main cam shaft.
Each cam is offset from the previous one by 30 degrees.
There are 8 cams in total.
Camshaft installed.
Now to build the rest of the stand.
The black bricks on the right side represent the 'Nothing'.
I thought the dark blue was a good representation for the night sky, and contrasted well with the dark tan.
Let's decorate the stand.
The Ivory Tower.
The Southern Oracle.
Time to build the cam followers and the supports for the dragon.
Testing to make sure they move freely.
Oooohh, wavy.
Let's finish off the stand.
Mmmm, crunchy.
A representation of the intertwined snakes.
Let's get some parts to build the dragon.
Here we go!
We'll start with the tail.
Now to build some body segments.
The look like heads!
Some scales to decorate the sides.
And some with feet.
I put these ones on backwards. We'll fix it later.
Time to build the head.
Let's put it all together.
Time to fix the front legs.
He's flying!
Let's motorize it.
Having a luck dragon with you is the only way to go on a quest.
Not sure why it started squeaking here.
Lights out, thanks for watching!
