After seeing the pilot episode to Sci-Fi’s “Amazing Screw-On Head” animated show
I’ve been itching to make a werewolf. The Studios minifig version just doesn’t
elicit “terrifying” to me as much as “bobblehead”, so I opted to start with the
Fenris Head and go the fully-articulated route. The scale is larger than
minifig - though it is close to the scale of the original Fenris Wolf. The
larger scale worked for me, though, as I like my werewolves oversized!

Unfortunately the pictures suffer from a bit of the
photographing-a-black-MOC-late-on-a-Sunday-afternoon malaise. I’ll try for some
brighter pictures soon.
Otherwise I’m pretty happy with the results. There’s a high level of
articulation, and it’s quite sturdy. In the course of a half hour photo shoot
only 1 piece popped off (left foot). It can walk around in barrel-chested
humanoid mode, but looks at least as nice in traditional canine/Fenris-Wolf
poses.
The one area I keep waffling on is the hind legs. From some angles and poses
they look spot on to the way I intended. From others they look a little scrawny
or mismatched. I suppose this is might be understandable given that my life
models were greyhounds!
The feature I’m most pleased with is the articulated jaw. I managed to fit a
functional mouth in the narrow Fenris head. It’s “spring-loaded”, so the jaw
can be opened up and grip something, but it won’t stay open on its own. Ahh,
well, I’m just happy it can bite! This was pulled off by using a pair of
Technic rubber bands; one holds the jawpiece:
tight against the red glowing-eye flex tube, while another spring loads it to
the closed position. It fits, it looks right, and it works.
Thoughts, questions, feedback, and suggestions are all welcome!

Great work as always, Shaun! I can only imagine the carnage this guy will cause
during the next BrickWars meelee. You’ll have to schedule it during a full
moon.

Your link appears to have been incorrectly formatted? I clicked and got
nothing.
I extracted this link
from your post, though. That seems to work.
I see what you mean about the scrawny legs and feet. The hands are also a bit
large. Perhaps you can design some three-toed feet, and it will all balance
out?
But, overall, this is a very nice model, and a great improvement on TLC’s Fenris
Wolf.

Oh, good grief! I can never get the FTX syntax to work right. Thanks for the
corrected link ...

I was watching Van Helsing and I was thinking that the size is good as compared
to how big that Werewolf was. This is a good size and an interesting combination
of parts. Good work!

Nice model, I have similar problems, owning a greyhound, all other dogs now look
strangely proportioned!

You seem to have broken the formatting of the lugnet front page with your very
long one word post title!
