I love the way that Lego peice have been used in some very unusual

I think you are talking about the thing that looks like Battle Droid heads all
going together. That part is made of many many Onua Claws (Onua was one of the
original Bionicle Toa heros). More or less I just ran a Technic straw up the
middle of them and offset them one way or the other to get it to spiral.

These pictures show the concept a bit better.

If for some reason you meant the round parts those are space tires linked up
the
same way as the others.

Or if you meant the horn looking things those are black Dino tails of which I
am
very fond :-)

I think it was the black dino tails... I just looked for it on Peeron.
I found these:
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/40396 and http://peeron.com/inv/parts/x159
(which I am sure you used) -  but this was the peice I was asking
about http://peeron.com/inv/sets/4796-1.

Although I was wondering about the scaley like stuff with the Onua
claws - thanks for sharing that. I only just began exploring the
possibilities with using Bionacle and Technic stuff together to make a
mech, although I am spending more time on my pyramid challenge..

Cheers,
Orion
