Well they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Both builds look good, and have your own touches that make them just a little different from the originals. I like them.

To be honest, I couldn’t do total rebuilds. In some cases I just couldn’t
figure out who the original was done. In others I was missing the parts.
And last but not least I wanted to change or improve small things, which I
didn’t like or missed on the originals.

   I also have to agree with eric that the opening out body on the stonefrog is just so cool (as is the stonedog body too). It is interesting how your interpretation is more curvy, while stonedog is more angular.

This was what caught my eye on the brickshelf find! The more curvy look is
just due to the different parts I used for the body, I think.

  
The cyclopean mono is interesting - as well as the single weapon (as opposed to the two on the MOAB with the same coloring), it also does not seem to have a transparent eye sensor. It reminds me of a transformers creation - I cant remember which, but I think it was one of the minicons from the recent computer game.

Anyway, thanks Marco, and thanks Peter and Kyle for the inspiration. Danny

Thanks for your comments, Danny
Marco
