Oddibossity Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) It bugged me that such a great (CGI) model was used in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, and yet the Aragog we saw in 4738- Hagrid's Hut- was pretty pathetic. Obviously it wasn't the main attraction of the set, and yes, it is still an improvement over the last one, but STILL! So I decided to see how well it would work with *real* bricks. Here is my LDD render (complete with Aragog's last meal for comparison in size): LDDScreenShot2 LDDScreenShot1 (2) Atop: LDDScreenShot4 'Neath: LDDScreenShot3 Reference screenshots I took from the game. photo 2 photo 1 You might notice I changed a few aspects, most notably the legs and face. I'm not sure how they got the two droid arms to connect like that, but I'm fairly happy with my solution. I changed the 2x2 slope that his eyes rest on to that weird 4x2 slope/cutout thing because that's the one that Shelob's eyes are printed on and it works much better, methinks. Finally, the legs. Only the four outer legs are on click-hinges, which makes it easier to pose (I hope) because the four inner legs (on regular clip-hinges) should just slide down to the right positions on the ground. Will it work? I don't know, but any comments you feel like dropping in would be most welcome Thanks for viewing! EDIT: Switched the first picture. Edited February 13, 2012 by Oddibossity Quote
JackJonespaw Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Very nice! Are the screenshots you got from the game from the DS version? Quote

Legomaster34 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Really nice! I hope to build an Aragog like this someday as well! Quote
