Qibli The Sandwing
This here is not only my “largest” creation yet, (at the time of posting, it was my largest, but has since been beaten by my SHMT-1000) at a whopping 1,055 parts, but in my opinion it’s also my best creation I’ve posted yet! I’ve been working on this for a few months, and I am loving the fact that my phone can run more than 300 parts, and now I can create things with much higher part counts! Anyway enough monologuing, this is Qibli The SandWing! If you saw my teaser in the forums, you’d know that I was very nervous to post this, due to some slight mental and personal issues, but due to the positive feedback I got on the forum, my spirits were lifted a bit. So yeah, here he is, sorry if your device can’t handle the high part count, I just wanted to add as many details as I could, just as long as my 7 didn’t give up on me.
Controls: “Normal” aircraft controls, the flight system is a bit tricky to get used to; I’ve seen too many dragons on SP that fly like a Cessna 172, it’s too much of a linear flight pattern. So to improve on this, I made him fly like a dragon, not a plane. (duh) Because of this, the pitch and roll controls are designed to have a dragon-like movement style, like Drogon in GoT or something. It takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you can fly gracefully. VTOL to tuck the legs closer to the body, for adequate flight purposes. Landing Gear to open and close his jaw, and dispense flares to breath fire!
There are some details here that I feel are worth mentioning, but may be difficult to notice at first. For instance, his amber earring, the details on the stinging barb on the end of his tail, and the scaling details I did on his underbelly and fore/rear legs. I made his talons flex along with his legs while using VTOL, and I tried to make his colors look as accurate to canon as possible. (Man, we really need a paint job system update someday!)
Anyways, I think I’ve said enough at this point.
Have Fun!

My phone finna turn into a dragon😭💀
I started reading WOF last weekend and I haven't done anything else all week lol. I'm already up to book 7. I really like how it takes common tropes like destiny and prophecies and kinda points out how dumb they can be lol
@TimmytheTypicalUser yeeee
Yay Wings of Fire go brrrrrrrrrr
I landed at bandit airport with this dragon
(Distant wheezing)...(cough cough) yes ... we’ll just go with “yes”. @Spitfire2013
@AWESOMENESS360 oh k
@Charris969 ok, I don’t know what that has anything to do with WoF, but you do you I guess. I used a modified flare-dispenser that fires like 20 flares per second for a flame-like effect.
Also @AWESOMENESS360 what did u use for the fire
@AWESOMENESS360 gerwalk is a type of transformer
@Charris969 ?
Well to comparison to the Minecraft Ender Dragon or futuristic like the Thunderbolt gerwalk this sandwing will prob get RECKED.
@Spitfire2013 He is canonically smart in the series, you aren’t wrong.
@DickBrazen well thanks. :)
Apparently quibli is supposed to be really smart
@DickBrazen ?
Comment 69 nice
@AloneTraveler lol, I mean technically speaking, anything is edible, it’s just that most things you shouldn’t really eat. And yeah, the stinging barb on a SandWing’s tail is definitely on the list of things you shouldn’t eat.
I love wings of fire
If Qibli's tail comes off it kinda looks like a banana.. is Qibli edible??
just wondering
@AloneTraveler yeah I wouldn’t advise trying to land with him, it doesn’t exactly work very well.
I was able to make this on iOS because my phone is good enough to run 1000+ parts. It’s an iPhone 7 if you’re wondering.
How did you make this on IOS? :O
QIBLI COMING IN FOR LANDING WEEEE
Oh Qibli exploded...
@AWESOMENESS360 np bud
@Spikerya it’s nice to know I’m not the only one here who loves WoF. Thx for upvote
