Nick Sweetman (MinifigNick) followed advice from his 9 year old son to use the tower roof piece from the Harry Potter sets as the head of a dragon. It just so happens that the roof tile texture mimics the dragon’s scales and the exposed studs are right at where the dragon’s eyes should be – a classic example of NPU!
Somebody built a fantasy tank-like vehicle using this roof piece as a dragon head several years ago, but I can’t find the post…
You may or may not be referring to this thing I built back when the first Hogwart’s set was new.
I love it as a dragon head. He seems so chill in there.
Just seen what you did Octopunk very nice I wonder if anyone else has used this part in any other builds ?
Maybe it’s this one?
^ Yes, that’s it! Blogged back in 2006. :-)
