Wizarding World - Modification for the Thestral (Horse from Grindelwald´s Escape)

[badchriss]

Admit it,we all were filled with joy when the news droped that 2018 will see new "Wizarding World/Harry Potter" sets. One set that caught my attention was that amazing black coach from the second "Fantastic Beasts..." movie with the introduction of a new mold for the Thestral,those creepy and cool horses with bat wings.

Lego did a nice job,but i thought the Thestral could need a bit more articulation for the wings.Usually,they only move up and down,which looks okay and fits when dragging a victorian era coach through the air...

But what if you want to have the Thestral in a MOC or just want to depict a wild Thestral?They don´t always run around with heir wings spread out left and right...

How about folding them to the back

Or unfold them at an angle?

With the use of 5 additional bricks,you can do this as well...

I hope you like this neat little modification.

Pretty much what I expected, but still looks good!

What a great idea! Something so simple but looks good, especially the “folded back” way. Will definitely use this.

Excellent Idea i will have to change my modification to this.  I like the way the wings have so much movement that way.  Thanks for sharing.
