[MOC] Lion King

[jnce]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to introduce this MOC made by me on 2022, Simba the Lion King.

The lion has 1267 LEGO pieces, with dimension 40CM x 16CM x 30CM, without the rock stand.

It is basically a display MOC, since I made the exterior appearance as less gap as possible. Which makes all the legs can barely move, even though I used ball-joint to connect legs to body.

My intention is to use as many different as possible LEGO pieces to build lion's details look (ig. manes within reddish brown), which also makes more fun and challenge during my building process.

It turns out a real-living lion to me with some cartoon style in the end, hope you like it as well.

Last but not least, check out the scale comparison with LEGO minifigure size lion's family.

This is really good, but his knees bend the wrong way - have a look at the Creator Magestic Tiger to see what I mean: https://brickset.com/sets/31129-1/Majestic-Tiger

If you fix that, your Simba would look amazing!

Looks really good! Animals are so hard to make in Lego, you nailed it

Do you mean front or rear knees bend the wrong way?

I checked the pic you attached, didn't find anything different with mine

Hind legs

It's the rear legs. You have all four legs bending the way, in real life the elbows and knees bend in opposite directions. This is the same in all animals including humans.
