A very very big one today! I've got a whole ten pictures this time, so they'll be split up between three posts in order to use Cohost's image embedding.
Almost didn't fit in my little photo booth, but i managed well enough.
As you might guess, the head and neck is heavily inspired by the Lego Horizon Tallneck kit. I haven't played either of the Horizon games, but those robot animals are great. Would love to see more of that in basically anything, but specifically lego has felt a lot like it's missing something in the creative soft scifi space for their own in-house themes.
Fun fact: building this used up around 80-90% of my light grey slope pieces and every single one of the 1x1 round tiles! Well. excluding four that are on another moc.
The one problem i had was needing to use two dark grey pieces on the right arm instead of another of those 2x4 light grey slopes.
A shame, but otherwise i'm very happy with it.
What's this? A cyborg!
I'm a big fan of Metal Guy With Squishy Bits Inside, and when i was starting this model i thought it might be fun to try and build a sort of external cage/shell around an organic inner core.
I wanted to have more of the inside visible between the panels, but building without a real plan i came up with some other ideas that worked with the parts i had available.
The removable segment in the back was improvised up right near the end, because the interior looked like i might be able to fit something snugly inside it.
And i was right!
I'm kind of surprised how well it shows up with the side removed. A good insight into how it's held in place.
