MOC: Scrofadillo

[Brickthing]

Scrofadillo

When venturing through the dangerous dark jungles of Quatros, explorers must be wary of many beasts and monsters. One of such beasts is the giant Scrofadillo, who stands at almost twice the height of a Hero. The Scrofadillo was named for it's appearance being a mix of boar and armadillo features, although it is far more savage than either of those tiny Earth animals. This particular Scrofadillo has a corrupted Quaza spike on it's head, so is under the control of the evil Witch Doctor. Heroes beware!

wow, that is just pure awesomeness!!! great job!

[The_Box]

The mixture of Bionicle, Hero Factory, and normal system pieces makes this one hell of a creation. Amazing. Your use of the masks on the legs is epic.

[The Crazy One]

You are awe inspiringly good at mocs of this size. Stunning!

[Bricks2000]

That is simply stunning! It's the kind of thing that says: "Explorers beware!".

Whoa. Nice creation.

[Ceroknight]

Nice. I love the way you used those Vakama masks

[PhillipCD]

Scrofadillo is huge! The spikes on its back are my favorite part!

that is awesomely organic looking!!

As organic as a Bionicle/Hero Factory MOC can get, anyways.

Nice build. Indeed, it looks very organic and has no obvious holes in its structure. I especially like the legs, as their different sizes and the overall muscled look add much to the "organism" of this MOC.

What I actually don't like so much is the head, especially . The horns break with the style of the build and look somewhat cartoonish. Maybe something for eyes and horns which extend straight backwards?

Overall, it still is awesome, and I hope that one day, my collection (and my skills) might one day enable me to build something as good as yours.

The lack of holes is mostly due to the angle I took the photos - the legs are filly with gaps and the entire body is just about a hollow shell. You can see right through the back in this photo. I rushed finishing this MOC for the recent Hero Factory contest on BZP so I rushed the legs and didn't get time to fill in the body - these are things I'll probably try again at before I pull the MOC apart (many valuable 2.0 parts are in there...)

Thanks for the criticism on the head though - the head design changed a lot while I was building the rest of the MOC, and was originally intended to be a rhino head. The head looks very different without the horns and/or the black flippers, but it also looked too small for the body without them, so I stuck with those extras rather than rebuilding the head entirely. I'll try to work out something different for the head, but I've worked myself into quite a corner with the body design - the spine/neck cannot articulate any higher to accommodate a head that isn't looking almost straight down.
