This is a set of instructions for building a winged dragonscale dragon sculpture. It assumes you already know how to weave dragonscale and scalemail. This tutorial also assumes you have made a regular dragonback dragon before tackling this one.
If you would like a dragon made for you, you can find that here:

When finished, the dragon is flexible, poseable, can sit up tall, or lay down flat. It measures 24 inches from nose to tail, and the wingspan measures 23 inches at the widest points. These instructions also assume that you can weave both dragonscale and scalemail. It does not teach you how to do either, it simply shows you how to shape each piece. It does, however, show you how to use two different colors in the larger rings for dragonscale.
All images are high quality so you can see exactly what you need to do and where.
Total number of rings (of all sizes) used in these instructions: 5462
Total number of scales (of all sizes) used in these instructions: 383
Total number of pages in these instructions: 27
Recommended skill level: intermediate to advanced (if you know dragonscale and are fine with putting rings into very tight spots, you can make this dragon)
These instructions have been tested with anodized aluminum rings from The Ring Lord, Chainmail Joe, and Chain Reaction Canada. The scales are from The Ring Lord and Draconic Wares.
Have fun! I sure did!
