MOC: Birds

[Subix]

For my WIP diorama I needed birds. And this is what I end up with:

Ups...a turtle.

[badgogo]

They look pretty cool!!!

You can build a small zoo with so many birds.

Brick on!!

[Sandy]

Incredible! I'm totally in love with the first bird (a stork or a crane?), but all the others are excellent as well and really look the part.

Wonderful use of parts in an inventive way, that's a true talent!

[SlimShady]

Very nice collection of beautiful birds.

[autorazr]

dude, some of the most creative uses of minifg parts that i've seen.

[Wout]

These are awesome! I like the first one with two beards as wings very much.

[monsinjor]

Hehehehe... beautiful :thumbup:

[Gabe]

These are some really sweet designs and variations! Like others, i am particularly enamoured of the first one with the beards used as wings.

Btw, is that last one supposed to be a bird too, or perhaps a tortoise??

[Subix]

Thank you all for comments. I am new to EB (not to Lego) and it feels good posting noticable creations.

[Yooha]

I have a feeling that these are based on real bird species since some of them have distinctive colors. Can you add their names?

[Ardelon]

Very inventive! But what's the body/rump part for picture number 10?

[Clone OPatra]

Very inventive! But what's the body/rump part for picture number 10?

Looks like the Turban piece in white.

These are awesome! I was taken most with the pom-pom birds. They remind me of the bird with hair in its eyes from Jungle Book!

[Subix]

Yes, on picture 10 body is white turban.

On picture 6 tail is made of old skeleton arm.

On pisture 3 there are two beards, Big on top and smal dwarf on the back bottom.

On samo places I used round plate 1x1 with hole for bar. Originaly used as eyes in Save a sheep game.

Other parts are clerly visible I think.

This is brilliant. I think you can expect other people's versions of these to pop up in MOCs and displays - and that's something to be proud of! I know I'll be looking here for inspiration when I need birds for a diorama :)

[Redhead1982]

Subix, you have a really nice collection of birds. The most impressive I find the use of various ''non-bird'' pieces, that you used to create birds' body parts. I like the bird with chima wings, however, the other species are even more spectacular considering their small size and diversity in parts usage. And as L@go said, they're very inspirational! Good job!

[Borex]

good job!

[Rook]

I don't really like the ones with the square heads but the rest, even the turtle, are excellent.

[Chocolatecake]

Amazing and very creative.

You have done a really good job, most of the birds reminds me of something I have seen (in real life or at pictures).

[Kivi]

That's a pretty amazing flock of birds, especially with all the parts which I would never have even imagined to use in such a way.

Well done!

[TheLazyChicken]

Those are probably the best brick-built birds ever! I love the addition of minifigure parts! Keep up the good work! :-)

[nobody]

These are fanastic. I love when you can produce so much with so few pieces.

[Hrw-Amen]

Nice selection of birds, especially the first couple, those beards make good wings and even the pompom makes a good colorful head! Like the turtle at the end as well!

[timmyc1983]

Awesome collection of birds there! My favourite is number 3 and I love the tortoise too hehe!

Great work and happy building

[B Rick]

Those are extremely cool! Surprisingly creative. At least to me. :)

[prateek]

Very nice! I really like the turkey variants

I remember making a duck similar to these a few years ago. It's really cool how so many small things can be made by seemingly simple pieces.
