... out of LEGO. This what happens to me when I have spare time. I tried to get this as accurate as possible with the parts I had. It is rather colour accurate and completely poseable. . . Please do pardon the quality of my images, My lil' bro was there and my phone isn't a great camera.

This thing is build with some self invented techniques that I don't believe Lego Factory would recognize(especially in the construction of the upper body), so no official build instructions. Besides, some of the parts on this thing are from old exo-force kits which I don't believe are even stocked at the moment anyways.

oh yeah, and thanks for the comments guys

What's funny to me is that, just seeing the subject in the list, I added "Out of LEGO!"

I was amused to see that actually was the first line

Looks good to me!

The creativity and ingenuity of people amuses me so.

You get an A+ from me, dear sir!

I have to say that is a great design and build and glad it turned out like it did for you. Gratz/Kudo's/A+, way to go.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeat!!

Unless it means breaking a lego piece to get another piece to fit into it, it isn't off limits to lego. I have seen Lego pros do some things to the bricks.

This is a great piece and shows your sculpting creativity. It takes skill to make something reconizable like that and I should know seeing how I've been a collector since 1977.

Well there was no super gimping or breaking of bricks, I basically took those special pieces (the ones that are angled to put bricks at 90degrees to the attached brick) put some curved parts on it and built from those, attached the constructed parts to pivots on both sides of the base torso, lined them up at an angle, set up some anchor pieces to lock said structure into place. I use some Technic parts on the inside so the arm joints are really solid to the torso, and just shell the rear with lego parts before mounting the tail piece to the frame. I use more 90degree parts on the bottom of the torso structure to set up a pivot point for the waist, which is set up as a perpendicular structure to the body(oh boy does it make things easier) The heady is mounted on a... swivel thingy, which was carefully put inside the special "hole" built with the curved pieces from the first steps... I could go on, but this thing has to many parts.

That so needs to go into the Scoop. Better Photos!

Self-invented techniques are part and parcel of design (especially Lego).

I would actually 2nd the request for some/all of the steps involved.

Have you considered trying to use a lego cad program (a few unofficial available from http://www.ldraw.org/ )? Other lego mechs examples can be found at this site.

And as to availability of parts, you can try eBay or bricklink as well as the Lego store.

Finally, can we use the pictures in the City Scoop?

I JUST popped this into the city scoop request thread. So great timing xD

I'll try those programs out. Hopefully they have all the parts I used (I'm scared to think I might have megablock pieces in there, so I might have to replace them with something)

Now lets see you do Kronos titan!

Just messin. that is 6 kinds of awsome though. Very well done I would like to echo the sentiments of others on here asking for better pictures. Heck I'm heading to the DC Meet and greet so if you're anyway close to that, lemme know. I'll bring my camera.
