Thanks MHooch.Im not familiar with uploading video fron my camera phone,I dont have a digital camcorder just a cassette one.

geesh, a guy who can build an awesome dragon [way over my head] but can't post a video [over my head as well]. man, that dragon is sweet. i love it. i can't wait to see this baby in action. thanks to the guy helping post a video. we all are dying to see your finished dragon.
headless, you have a pretty nice dragon as well. does yours do anything?

I wasn't sure what I was going to see when I clicked on this link, I'm not much into dragons. Wow was I blown away Mickkell! What a terrific recycling use for the styrofoam. The shape of it is outstanding but all the extras you've thown in, elevate it to something else. Can't wait to see your video. When you get all done you should consider a tutorial if you can.

BTW my experience with white styrofoam is that it breaks easily. Did you strengthen it somehow for extra support?

Looks amazing, mick, and it's just starting to take shape!

fantastic dragon, you have some mean carving skill there! Can't wait to see him finished, (no pressure or anything!LOL!)

This is the simplest for me...After you finish your video upload it to someplace like YouTube. When you play it you will get some options on the right. One says URL, one says IMBED. Highlight the URL and copy it. Come back to your post on HF, write us some more awesome story about your prop, then click on the icon above of the world with the link. Paste your URL into that link box. Hit enter and voila! there it is for the world to see. Hope I didn't skip any steps. LOL

In the meantime, keep those pics coming.

Just wanted to thank you for the quick how-to-post-video, I was having a lot of trouble and your directions were great . I was able to post my 3-axis in about 2 minutes!LOL!! Again ,Thanks.

My dragons body is just chicken wire with the fabric on it now, holds up great.

Headlesshorseman, I also meant to compliment you on how your dragon looks. How tall is he? I love the head and wings. Any chance you have pics of him at night lit up?

nope,just styro glue and a home made hot wire foam cutter.a little imagination and some welding.thanks to everyone for your/their kind words kind words.i need to figure a way to add some sound to him when his mouth opens,like the t-rex in JP.not too savy when it comes to that stuff,might need someone to hold my hand.lol.
