Great job. Gears make great teeth for creature MOCs. So many people are so quick to overlook the usefulness of Bionicle, but the parts, when combined creatively, do well (because of their irregular shapes) to represent all kinds of organic surface textures, not to mention the great curves that can be acheived. Building creatures out of traditional brick is good, but I think Technic adds a whole now dimension of realism, not to mention added potential for articulation. I myself have done a half dozen large Star Wars creatures out of Bionicle/Technic, as well as a King Kong more recently. I usually wait until the newest series’ of Bioicles have been marked down on clearance before picking them up, but now that I see some of the newer parts put to use, I may have to pick myself up a couple now. Again, great model.

(...) Thanks Mike!! Yes you showed me the way with your Wampa, Dewback, and Jabba et al. I agree that you can achieve many organic shapes that you wouldn't normally get with the system brick. But it seems taboo to even look at the Bionicle. Maybe (...) (21 years ago, 3-Nov-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
