Rhino and Sandman Super Villain Team Up MOD

Recommended Posts

This is my first time posting a MOD here (sorry if the pictures aren't the best). When I first saw this set, I have to admit that I wasn't very happy with it. From the stickers to the rhino-mech, it was all over the place. But as a completionist I had to have it

:grin: The first thing I wanted to accomplish in this MOD was making Sandman more menacing than he's depicted in this set. So I built him a sand body, if you will, and I lifted the sand hands from the set and MOD-ed them considering the white pieces they used stood out horribly. That part took around an hour and half from random pieces I quickly scooped up. If I had more time I'd probably change them a bit but I'm decently pleased with the results.

As for Rhino, I didn't change him too much. I took out the seat part and put a chest piece in. I also took off the stud blaster finger (because those make sense...) and made little fingers for him. It was a pain trying to find pieces that I could use for them, so I used little cheese slopes to make them look like he had his hands curled into fists. Now if we could just get a big fig version of him....

The crane I made taller and gave it a longer arm. I also attached a real hook piece and for fun added a spiked wrecking ball that I took out of the Mystery Mansion set. I had extra support beams from AquaRaiders lying around so that was lucky. My brother built the cab and we placed the "rhino" inside and made him a construction worker instead. I also added another layer of the red and white bricks on the crane cab to try and balance out the extended arm. Unfortunately, while I do like my version of the crane better, I did have to compromise a bit of the stability in doubling up the base tower. That's the only downside that I see. Finally, we added another layer of steel beams to the construction site just to make it seem bigger.

So that's it. I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you have any questions or comments, feel free. Constructive criticism is also definitely welcome. I know I'm no master builder so if you have any nitpicks or things you don't like that I changed, let me know!

Can't believe I didn't see this earlier. I had the same idea, but this is very well done.

Love the completed crane and that much necessary Rhino MOD. :thumbup: :thumbup:
