This colourful Creator Set featured a brick built parrot, with a controversial play feature. Red Creatures (31032) was released at the start of 2015 (this means anytime between early December 2014 and February 2015, depending on where in the world you happen to be standing.) At the time of its release, it was overshadowed somewhat by the release of 3 1031 вЂ“ the Rainforest Animals. However, the final effect was fairly large compared with the Elves DragonвЂ™s heads. KaiвЂ™s Elemental Dragon (70602)В was an impressive dragon, and the head featured interesting use of arches.

Earlier this year, I looked at the Fire DragonвЂ™s Lava cave: Part of the Elves DragonвЂ™s Series this set contained some great scenery, but the brick built head was not entirely to my taste at the time. Dragons are creatures inspired over the years by human imagination, and LEGO bricks are intended to inspire the human imagination. Of interest, dragons appear in LEGO sets a little more often than they appearВ in real life. I appear to have been discussing LEGO Dragons on this blog a little more than I do in real life. IвЂ™ll let the images speak for themselves. Please share them here or on the Rambling Brick Facebook page. Other color palettes may allow different solutions, and I think that would be fantastic.

Here is the main hidden structure of the snout of the dragon, just in case you feel possessed by a desire to try recreating the effect. I also substituted two 1Г—1 tiles on the cheeks with 2x1x2/3 baby bows, just in from of the eyes, enhancing the curved structure of the head. So I needed to rebuild the dragonвЂ™s snout a little in order to accommodate the changed directions of brackets: this moved the cheeks back, and revealed a coloured plate holding on the 2x2x2/3 bow that makes up the forehead: so I replaced it with some small plates. They are inverted compared to the ones that IВ got in the McLaren set. So I got myself some Flame Yellowish Orange/Bright Light Orange (FYO/BLO) brackets. So I go a copy of Super Soarers (31042) because it had some FYOBLO brackets in it. Except that left me with some Light Stone Grey on view in the dragonвЂ™s snout. I found my self working through 5 drafts of dragons head, before being properly satisfied. In order to get a good supply of FYOBLO curves, bows and small arches, I picked up a copy of the McClaren P1 Speed Champions set.

I looked at the Red Creatures Creator set, which was never really found in Australian Shops, as it gave me some ideas on how to approach a Dragon Head. I Like the Elves Dragons set, especially the Fire DragonвЂ™s Lava Cave Set, but I am not a fan of the dedicated DragonвЂ™s head mould, except for the obvious reason: great colors, printing, fits lot of detail into a small space. New readers may find this to be a useful place to start (or notвЂ¦) Regular readers of this blog will be getting a little tired of its self referential nature.
