Production of the tail

In order to make a tail, it will be necessary to assemble the modules as follows:

And 1 row will consist of 1 part, 2 of 2 and 3 rows from 1 module.

Next it is necessary to assemble the modules up to 15 rows in the same way, only starting from the 7th row will all red modules need to be bent to the side, that's the way:

The tail of the dragon ends 28 close, it should be taken into account thatstarting from the 23rd row, the number of modules should be interleaved, so in each even row there will be 6 modules, and odd rows of 5 modules.

Assembling the body

Assembly of the trunk is to be started from the side. So, first you need to make a link in 16 rows. Those corners that remain free, you need not forget to bend to the side. In total it is necessary to collect 6 links. The torso of the dragon is from 29 to 124.

Assembling the head of the dragon

First we need to collect the head without the mustache, for this we have the modules as follows: the first in the head series( 125 by the general score) - 5 parts, then in each row add 1module, until it turns out that the series consists of 11 modules, that is, to 131 rows. So, getting to 141 rows, which is the last, in the head there will be only 1 module.

Add a mustache on your head. In 136, 137, 138 and 141 rows we include modulo and bend the free corner. Mustache must be added on both sides respectively.

Paws and final assembly of

In total it is required to collect 4 paws with 8 modules.

All the details of the dragon should be combined into one: tail, trunk and head.

Before you attach the paws, you should give the toy a shape. For what the neck vyginaem, the account of turning is evenly along the entire length of the neck.

Finished paws while laying them aside and we will work on giving the product a shape. We will bow to the neck.

Now we add paws in those places where the fire-breathing beast comes into contact with the surface.

Here's a toy and ready, you can also try to add, for example, some parts of the bodies, and you will get a nice dragon with wings.
