Yeah, I guess it's like the drawing test at the beginning of "The Little

Mainly they like to drive thru crowded battle fields and use them like
weed-wackers.

A pheasant! A PHEASANT?! (faints....gets back up) A phuh... (faints again...)

Do you mean the shape of the face or the whole thing?

Don't forget that it has to resemble a boat and land vehicle as well as a
bird. Also it was designed to be a mobile battle station so it has to be
functional as a fortified outpost as well as a seige engine for breaching
walls. I did have trouble coming up with a decent beak though - I wanted the
hook that a hawk has, but it didn't look right anyway I tried it.

It's the other Gungan in 7115 Gungan Patrol. I changed the arms.

You can see it at the bottom right of center in this pic, not very clear though.

I have another disk and a half of pics I could post if anyone's interested.

Thanx again Joel, and don't sweat the pheasant thing. :~)
