JoeChu1980 Posted November 2, 2018 Hello friends, recently there's an activity from ChinaLUG, and during MOC a scene, I did a Acklay. Actually several years before, @LegoAcklay made it once, but a little bit lager. With recent LEGO parts releasing, here I tried to scale it with MF scale. And by my friend's recommendation, I started to try Stud.io, it could load LDD file and there's some difference, I'm not sure whether I should go with it, but LDD 4.3.11 brick database hadn't updated for a while...

Cylo Posted November 2, 2018 Very nice! The claws look spot on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrMuttonchops Posted November 2, 2018 Like Bonks said, the claws really are perfect. You did a great job on sizing, shaping, and overall color blocking! I really like how you handled the little "pincer" claw on the front legs. I'm not a huge fan of the head, but I think you did the best job you can without any special elements! Is there any way to maybe widen the fin on the back? Overall, stellar job. It's instantly recognizable. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I once design an junior one, and try 15573 1x2 plate w/ 1 knob, maybe I can extend it here. will try later On 11/3/2018 at 2:39 AM, Veynom said: Excellent work, great result.

Thanks for your comment, Actually I once thought ball-joint connection may be better, but only light grey and dark grey, the color scheme is the concern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BerraBZ Posted November 8, 2018 I like that MF scale Acklay. You´ve done a good job with the claws being able to moving around with hinges and clamps. You really did well with the proportions. Another plus is the nearly studless design! Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
