I’ve finally gotten around to building an actual model to represent my online handle - Legozilla.



I first started off with a base construction similar to the Prehistoric Creatures set:



I soon found that green is a hard color to build in, especially since I needed to show this model soon. Bricklink orders were out of the question.

The head was modified to be shorter in length and have the neck pivot on the bottom, not the back. I copied the feet wholesale, mostly because I got lazy. The leg construction is similar. The body looks similar to the set, but I’m not sure that can be avoided given the similarity of the models. The arms are completely my design using the ball and socket joints from Bionicle. The tail is the tail. There are only so many ways to make it.

(...) I'm disappointed by the lack of a zipper and the fact that the back fins aren't all rubbery and floppy. Otherwise, very nice! (2 URLs) Tony Hafner (URL) www.hafhead.com> (18 years ago, 10-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I think this was a great build. I like the green. but the legs could have been custom made. You should have made one using only your own ideas. Overall , 8 out of 10. (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
