MOC: Kiwi (The Animal...)

[Legoman]

Hey guys.

I've been working on this for a little while. One of the National Icons of NZ. Unfortunately, I don't have enough Brown bricks, as they're all used in other MOCs. Hence I Shall simply present to you the final Prototype of my Kiwi, Made from lego. I used Red as my prototype colour - So where it's red, imagine its acully Reddish Brown. Now this Is the animal. Not the fruit, Nor the New Zealand peoploe. Simply an amimal

(Picture is link to Brickshelf folder with more pics)

It has no eyes, and It's the wrong colour. But this is what I've come to for now. C/C welcome

EDIT: Wow, that pic is terrible.... I'll have to retake it later - sorry

It's nice. I like the beak, and the shape of the bird is really good too, although it would be better in brown.

Nice job. I could tell instantly what it was, great shape and form, even in red!!

Thanks to Taz-Mania, kiwis will always be yellow in my mind.

From a fellow kiwi. I think the body needs to be a bit bigger

[Legoman]

Yeah, Fair enough Allan.

But they do seem to get longer as they grow up - but it also depends on the breed. Point taken though Thanks for the replys guys
