I had a lot of fun building this model. I might build giant sand worms or

some other creepy crawly thing next...this is really a lot of fun!!!!


Thank you, and please tell me what you think...

nobody does brick built beasties/figs like you dude. :D
fantastic work as usual. That would make an awesome full blown scorpion too.

Wow -- nice use of traditionally Space-ish parts! Megaphones as legs and those magnet-clasp thingies as claws are both really original ideas. Can't wait to see what's next!

Wow... Now That is a scorpion knight.
That scorpion belongs to castle customs. An admin should move it soon.

I love it man - you by far met my expectations and hopes. This is really cool - the tail is masterfully done - and the claws are in correct proportion to the rest of the body... proportion can be a difficult bug to manage when your creating your own with LEGO, but you've done very well.

The only possible... minor suggestion I might have would be to make some claws that are movable... but really, that's not necessary because this is just soo cool.

Thank you for the response...I'm heading in another direction with my

brick-built monsters...perhaps harpy, or griffon???I'm looking for a

non-traditional (not frequently built) monster...something with wings,

that I can build a little larger then minifig (like the arakne) but nowhere near

as huge as my Naga Queen or Cyclops...

Thank you again for your response...any suggestions??? :wink:

That's great. I like the use of the lazer gun/hair drier/ megaphone pieces as legs, that is very creative.

He goes great with the spider guys, huh?

Keep up the great work.

No. It doesn't.

All these parts are unmodified. If they have been assembled somewhat unconventionally, that is due to the genius of the author's mind, not to any modification of the pieces.

There is no need to move it.

Cool scorpion-man!
Like how you used torches for the legs and the magnet holders for the claws.

You're master of the mythology of figures/animals crossover mocs.

Boses doesn't do customs, but his brickwork is amazing.

Another Great Creature!
