So I decided to beef them up. I started with the design that I used, Franklin Cain's bovine design (credit where credit is due): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=48 And spent an hour on the hoof, grazing through my parts stock. After bullying the design, I came up with one that I think is utterly nifty. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/savatheaggie/village/newmoocow.jpg They're three wide instead of two, and their heads are two wide instead of one. Oh! And now they have tails :) Is that Moosic to your ears? Or can I stop using all these bad puns? ;) --Anthony http://www.ozbricks.com/ikros

(...) Udderly nice. Hey, have you maybe tried using the 2x3 inverse slope for the head. Rev.Powell uses it (see the Joseph stories), and the inverse slope works really well because of those little slits for the peg make it look kinda like eyes. (...)

(...) Your new MOC really mooves me. I snapped this pic at LEGOWORLD 2002, it's from (Reinhard) Ben Beneke's train layout. (URL) you enjoy, and perhaps it will help you in your story :-) -Tim (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)
