Hiya. The name is Linus Bohman, and this is my first post on lugnet. I’ve been lurking for three years or so. Last night I discovered that I was finally allowed to post here, and so I thought I would give it a try.

Here is Oscar the serpent. He is cute, cuddly and non-ciddie-friendly. In this shot he is duking it out with the crew of another MOC of mine (Swamp Thing). Comments and criticism welcome.

Hi Linus =)

This is a neat creature for sure. Not totally sure how you got it to bend at the segments like that, and that’s a good thing if it’s mysterious hehe. I was admiring your carnivourous plant last week and discussing it with someone about how the bionicle pieces lend themselves so well to predatorial plant life.

cheers, Joseph

Hi Joseph! I’m glad you like it (and the plant). It’s not really that mysterious - all of the coral bits are hollow (a technic axle can pass trough them). I took a piece of lego string and put it through through the holes, making sure that it is as stretched as neccesary to allow proper snake-like movement. The grappling hook on the tail helps holding the string in place, as do the small green 2x2 rounds near the head. (You can see the string here).

Thanks again for looking!

Linus

Bushes not used as bushes? I love it!

Btw, I really like your use of the old Samsonite gears on this quasi-steampunk vehicle.
