Never thought about making Lego centaurs. Interesting idea, however, and certainly a field with room for invention. I like the peg legs on Webrain's pic.

Doubt that I'd make any centaurs though, they don't really have a place in my world, and I've never been very fond of Human/animal combines, even if they're from mythology. At least not for the design of the body, as the characters themselves can be quite interesting.

I've got a couple links to centaurs: see the entry "Race" on my LEGO Castle Tech page.

I have two centaurs of my own that I'll take pictures of shortly.

I have many centaurs, over 40. Some are pictured in my gallery here:

The basic idea for these were inpired by Onishi Shinjis green centuar posted earlier in this thread. I am pretty proud of how the turned out though.

I have made 2 similar to the one that Sir-Boris made, only instead of cutting the horses, I seperated the two side of the horse and removed the head. In that gap I places a flat 1x2 of the correct color and at an angle to that a flat 1x1 of that color. Then I mounted a minifig torso (a solid of the right color) on a central 1x1 and put this on top. It looks pretty cool. I alos have a custom telescope made for them (they're supposed to be stargazers...). Sorry for the lack of pictures, I should post them sometime (these have been around for ages, just never thought they were MOC-worthy).

Wow. That is pretty cool. They look good, really the best looking centaurs I've seen. But what really overwhelms me the number brown horses you decapitated. :cry:

I did enjoy them and I can't wait to see what the future holds!

Build On,
