Post by boses »

Hello everyone. Here are some pictures of a monster I have been working on.

Here are some pictures...

This monster incorporates a seaweed piece combined witha technic part to construct the tail,I like the look of the tail when built this way.

Thank you and please tell me what you think.

I actually really like this. The head and tail are both cool, and the torso choice is great. Nice work.

This is a really cool guy! The tail rocks, and the head is great. I'm not sure, but he might look a little better with white antenna bottoms for his eyes. Maybe not... Hmm...

Very nice!

I like your choice of navy blue, even though most reptile things are green.

I don't think this is a custom, rather a MOC. And that's a compliment because building something like this without customizing takes a great deal of creativity, well done. Very little to not like here, only the rarity of some of the peices which inhibits mass production. Love the dark blue color, that color is really growing on me.

I've seen lots of attempts at creating a lizardman warrior and although I'd side with those using green goblin torsos (or BM Croc) I REALLY like the shape and proportions of this guy. Very nice job.

This is a very well done MF scale monster! The only downside is that I want to copy it, so now I have to go buy a Bionicle piece. :oops:

There aren't any Bionicle pieces in this. Both the technic piece and the weird blue thing can be found in this Aquaraiders set, and I think the 1x2 hinge plate is in that as well... but I'm not sure.

Maybe they're in some Bionicle sets too....

I was refering to the tail piece. It's in PLENTY of Bionicle sets.

Strange yet, some what intoresting. To me it looks a little aquatic, then again amphibeus. Oh well, good work.

This would be a great small kit to sell. Great design.
