Smaug The Golden ...

The greedy dragon with the breastplate covered with gold and precious stone makes an appearance with this MOC of Fat Tony 1138 while waiting to see what LEGO plans to offer us in its official range about this critter that will be at the center of the trilogy The Hobbit directed by Peter Jackson and the first part of which will be released in December 2012.

Do not get carried away immediately by viewing the images of this MOC in the MOCeur flickr gallery, the pile of gold is mainly made up of a sheet of gilded paper which dresses the whole and which was then covered with parts to create the illusion of a pile of jewelry that the hobbits would like to recover. It's ingenious and the illusion is perfect.

The dragon is well made and I would be tempted to give a special mention to the base of the MOC which is superbly designed. To see more it's in the flickr gallery by Fat Tony 1138 whether it's happening or on its MOCpages space.
