For those who may recall the dragon I was building for the library, I'm sorry to report that it met a tragic demise this morning while trying to hang it in place. Its head fell from were it was setting and was broken beyond repair. 3 weekends and some 50 hrs flushed down the toilet in 2 seconds.

Darn Steve that a shame. All that time and work that went into that.....gone. I can’t believe you can’t put it back together, as talented you are. Man it’s gotta be really busted up. Sorry to hear about that.

The way that I constructed the horns and the crest makes it impossible to repair it. Knocked out 50% of the teeth and popped holes in the skin. Trying to fix it would make it look like Frankenstein....I can't live with that. So, it's in the dumpster....

Ruined my day......

First of all I'm so sorry to hear that and it wasn't even for yourself...it was for the kids at the library. You were really doing a great thing yet fate had other ideas.

I have to agree with blaster...pick up the pieces and build a second dragon....one built with all the experience you gained from building the previous one. It will be a bigger and better dragon in the end....even more immpressive than this one was.

Ouch Steven I know that hurt! It was a labor of love for the kids. I have a sneeking suspicion that you will pick up the pieces and finish it. Don't let the accident get you down ........ Its just one step back. Now sit back take a deep breath and start planning the Dragon part 2. This time enter it in Burn Baby Burn and we will all push for ya!

Remember its for the kids! It will be all worth it. to steal a line from Waterboy ....... "You Can Do IeeeT!"
