Centaurs, quite possibly

Post by E of Alshire »

I think these -

- are centaurs. If so, they look great!

Those do look good, possibly the best centaurs I've seen. I really like the brick built solution for the legs. As far as I know, Ballchoi is not a member here. Bruce has posted several of their creations and they have never responded.

Hey, those are very cool. I like the little stubby legs. :P (We need a better tongue smiley, maybe I'll make one.) The tails are great too.

Hey,

As Josh said, this guy is not a member here (or at least they never post their MOCs in the forums). They have some really nice MOCs. This centaur design, I believe, was based on Hopeso009's design, that was posted about a week ago:

Those are both nice renditions, but they still seem "too small" to me. Taking the Narnia movie centaurs as an example, they are large creatures -- equivalent to a horse.

<shameless plug>
That's why I'm still rather partial to my own versions.

yea your versian is nice but the torso's seem small...
(the ones more the size of horses)

on the "small" ones i think the torso's are a bit small... but i think it's mainly just that the legs need to be another stud longer
(the ones this topic is about)

These are much better than the others I have seen but they are a bit too small. They are awsome though.

Awesome! Though I think they look like bunny-centaurs., atleast they look cute enough for that.

BLAHH!!!

They are not big enough, and they look nothing like horses. I have a real recipe a friend and I thought up.

Those are nice renditions of centaurs.

Here is a moc of centaurs I created a few years back(be warned, there was some cutting of Lego pieces to build these :shock: )....

You dont have to be so harsh Anubisconq, if you dont like something about them then say what it is and give him constructive critisism. Sir-Boris, I like how you did yours [even if you did cut pieces] they look very nice.

Now Sir Boris's centaurs look awesome! I'm trying to figure out how to do one like that. Do they bend at the waist or are they ridgid? Either way, they much better than the bunnies.
