In this Instructable, I am going to talk about how I made the galaxy dragon. Before we start, here's what you should know. The project took about 7 days to create. It’s a long but fun projet and really cool to make! But why did I make it? I make it because I wanted to make something big for my room so that when someone walk into my room, they could see it and say WOW it so stunning and ravishing! I also make it for pure fun and it was really entertaining to make.
