TAFOL Posted November 29, 2020 When LEGO brought set 75979 on the market, I immediately thought that other birds could also be build using the same crank-based mechanism. I ultimately decided to build a parrot, since most parts were available in the required colors. I only needed to modify the head and the stand on which this animal rests. Adding a batterybox and motor (thanks to JK Brickworks for showing me how to motorize it), I ensured that, whenever I get the chance to bring this MOC to events, the parrot could flap its wings all day. I hope you all like it. Rainbow Bird by TAFOL, on Flickr I also made a short video to show how this parrot moves: You can view more pictures on my Flickr: Rainbow Bird | Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JintaiZ Posted November 29, 2020 The overall shaping is fantastic, I just think you could add a few more bricks to the beak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vilhelm22 Posted December 1, 2020 Fantastic! I have to admit I agree with @JintaiZ on this one, as I think that the use of those arch bricks is just a bit too simplistic compared to the rest of the build. I'd try to get a no-studs-showing result on the beak if I were you. But otherwise, very well executed indeed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
