[MOC] The Griffin

[_TLG_]

Hello,

The new griffin faction and my love for fantasy creatures inspired me to design this brick-built griffin to Bricklink Designer Program Series 9. It is not actually based on an existing character, I studied some cool pictures about griffins, and some cool griffin and eagle builds, but I built something brand new. My intent was to create a poseable animal instead of a static statue and added a wizard to the set for more playability options. You can support my submissions by voting and commenting:

I prefer the brick built solutions to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, and therefore only two stickes are used for the griffin eyes.

Dimensions of the griffin (as it is shown on the main picture):
Width:21.9 studs / 6.9 in / 17.5 cm
Length: 39.6 studs /12.5 in /31.7 cm
Height:35.4 studs /11.1 in / 28.3 cm

Picture 5 shows the rotation joints and approximate rotation ranges. The griffin may be unstable in some of the depicted poses without additional support, particularly in the one shown in picture 9.

I hope you enjoy this set. Many thanks for your support and feedback!
